Highwayman chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

Capo 2nd fret

(Willie)
A minorAm   G+G          FF        A minorAm
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
G+G       FF      G+G
With sword and pistol by my side
DmDm      A minorAm      G+G      FF
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
DmDm   A minorAm       G+G       FF
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
A minorAm      G+G       FF        C majorC
The bastards hung me, in the spring of twenty-five
FF       G+G
But I am still alive.

(Kris)
A minorAm   G+G       FF       A minorAm
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
G+G      FF     G+G
And with the sea I did abide.
DmDm     A minorAm         G+G    FF
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
DmDm   A minorAm          G+G       FF
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
A minorAm         G+G        FF        C majorC
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
FF        G+G
But I am living still.

(Waylon)
A minorAm     G+G          FF       A minorAm
I was a dam builder. Across the river deep and wide.
G+G        FF     G+G
Where steel and water did collide.
DmDm       A minorAm       G+G     FF
A augmentedA place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
DmDm      A minorAm      G+G      FF
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
A minorAm       G+G       FF         A minorAm
They buried me, in that great tomb that knows no sound
FF       G+G
But I am still around..
G+G       C majorC     A minorAm    G+G    FF   E minorEm   DmDm
I'll always be around and around............

(Johnny)
A minorAm   G+G          FF    A minorAm
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
G+G     FF        G+G
And when I reach the other side
DmDm     A minorAm        G+G      FF
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
DmDm    A minorAm      G+G     FF
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
A minorAm    G+G      FF       A minorAm
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G+G  FF    G+G
But I, will remain
G+G        C majorC     A minorAm    G+G     FF     E minorEm  DmDm
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
