Highway Man by The White Buffalo
Highway Man
Bm
Bm A
I was a highwayman
G Bm
On the coach roads I did ride
A G A
With sword and pistol by my side
Em D A G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em D A G
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Bm A G A
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
D A
But I am still alive.
Bm A
I was a sailor
G Bm
And I was born upon the tide
A G A
And with the sea I did abide.
Em D A G
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Em D A G
I went aloft to furled the mainsail in a blow
Bm A G A
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
D A
But I'm living still.
Bm A
I was a dam builder
G Bm
Across this river deep and wide
A G A
Where steel and water did collide
Em D A G
In a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Em D A G
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Bm A G A
Then they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
D A
But I am still around
Bm A G A
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around
Bm~ A~
I fly a star ship
G~ A~ Bm
Across the universe divide
A G A
And when I reach the other side
Em D A G
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Em D A G
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Em D A G
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
D A
But I will remain
Bm A G A
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again
Bm
