SIm      
LA
 I was a highwayman
          
SOL               
SIm
Along the coach roads I did ride
LA              
SOL    
RE    
LA
 With sword and pistol by my side
MIm     
SIm

 Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
MIm     
SIm              
LA              
SOL7+
 Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
SIm           
LA             
SOL       
LA     
RE
 The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
    
SOL         
LA
But I am still alive

SIm      
LA
 I was a sailor
      
SOL           
SIm      
LA
I was born upon the tide
             
SOL   
RE   
LA     
MIm
And with the sea I did abide
           
SIm                
LA          
SOL7+
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
MIm      
SIm                 
LA            
SOL7+       
 I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
SIm           
LA                   
SOL
 And when the yards broke off they said 
     
LA    
RE
that I got killed
    
SOL         
LA
But I am living still

SIm      
LA
 I was a dam builder
           
SOL            
SIm
Across the river deep and wide
LA               
SOL   
RE    
LA
 Where steel and water did collide
MIm             
SIm            
LA       
SOL7+
 A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
MIm            
SIm           
LA             
SOL7+     
 I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
SIm          
LA               
SOL
 They buried me in that great tomb 
     
LA      
RE
that knows no sound
    
SOL         
LA
But I am still around
                
RE          
FA#m/DO#   
SIm
I'll always be around, and around and around 
     
LA         
SOL   
FA#m   
MIm      
SOL 
LA 
RE
and around and around...

SIm         
LA
 I'll fly a starship
           
SOL        
SIm     
LA
Across the Universe divide
           
SOL       
RE    
LA
And when I reach the other side
MIm          
SIm              
LA          
SOL7+
 I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
MIm        
SIm          
LA          
SOL7+
 Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
SIm       
LA          
SOL    
LA      
RE
 Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
    
SOL      
LA
But I will remain
                  
RE         
FA#m/DO#  
SIm
And I'll be back again, and again and again 
     
LA        
SOL   
FA#m   
MIm       
SOL 
LA 
RE
and again and again...
