I saw the request for this one in the last newsletter and had a copy
that I had worked out.

 Highwayman (J.Webb)

 A minorAm    G+G          FF        A minorAm
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
  G+G       FF  A minorAm   G+G
With sword and pistol by my side
 DmDm   A minorAm         G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
 DmDm   A minorAm        G+G        Fmaj7Fmaj7
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
 A minorAm      G+G       FF     G+G   C majorC
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
   FF     G+G
But I am still alive.
 A minorAm   G+G      FF       A minorAm
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
 G+G      FF  A minorAm  G+G
And with the sea I did abide.
 DmDm    A minorAm        G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
  DmDm  A minorAm          G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
 A minorAm      G+G          FF    G+G    C majorC
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
  FF      G+G
But I am living still.

 A minorAm   G+G           FF       A minorAm
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
 G+G        FF  A minorAm  G+G
Where steel and water did collide
 DmDm      A minorAm      G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7
A augmentedA place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
  DmDm     A minorAm      G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
 A minorAm    G+G         FF     G+G     C majorC
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
   FF      G+G            C majorC     C/A#    A minorAm
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
 Am/GAm/G   FF   F/E   DmDm  FF G+G E MajorE
around and around

 A minorAm    G+G          FF    A minorAm
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
G+G      FF    A minorAm   G+G
And when I reach the other side
 DmDm     A minorAm        G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
  DmDm   A minorAm       G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
 A minorAm    G+G     FF   G+G    C majorC
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
 FF     G+G
But I will remain

Instrumental:
C majorC    C/A#    A minorAm    Am/GAm/G    FF  F/E DmDm

FF G+G C majorC
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

Original key:
B minorBm
