[Verse 1] (Willie Nelson)

Bm         A                     G                 Bm
   I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
A                G      D     A
  With sword and pistol by my side
Em              Bm            A             G
   Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em        Bm                A              G
   Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Bm              A              G         A      D
   The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five
    G           A       A
But I am still alive


[Verse 2] (Kris Kristofferson)

Bm         A             G             Bm
   I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
A          G      D    A
  With the sea, I did abide
Em            Bm                 A           G
   I sailed a schooner round the horn to Mexico
Em         Bm                  A             G
   I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Bm              A                     G         A     D
   And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
    G           A        A
But I am living still


[Verse 3] (Waylon Jennings)

Bm           A                   G              Bm
   I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide
A                 G     D      A
  Where steel and water did collide
Em                Bm             A        G
   A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Em               Bm             A               G
   I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Bm             A               G         A       D
   They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound
    G           A
But I am still around


[Bridge] (All)

                D           A/C#        Bm          A
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around,
     G           D/F#     Em           G A D
and around, and around ...


[Verse 4] (Johnny Cash)

Bm            A                   G          Bm
   I'll fly a starship 'cross the universe divide
A            G         D     A
  And when I reach the other side
Em             Bm               A           G
   I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Em           Bm               A       G
   Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Bm          A           G      A       D
   Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G            A
But I will remain


[Outro] (All)

                  D          A/C#       Bm         A
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again,
     G          D/F#     Em           G A D
and again, and again ...
