Chords with lyrics

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

(Kris)
B minorBm    A augmentedA       G+G  A augmentedA    B minorBm
 I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
A augmentedA       G+G     A augmentedA
 And with the sea I did abide.
E minorEm      B minorBm         A augmentedA    G+G
 I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
E minorEm    B minorBm         A augmentedA       G+G
 I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
B minorBm       A augmentedA           G+G     A augmentedA   D MajorD
 And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
  G+G      A augmentedA
But I am living still.

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

(Johnny)
B minorBm     A augmentedA          G+G      B minorBm
  I fly a starship across the Universe divide
A augmentedA      G+G        A augmentedA
 And when I reach the other side
E minorEm      B minorBm        A augmentedA      G+G
 I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
E minorEm      B minorBm      A augmentedA      G+G
  Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
B minorBm     A augmentedA      G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
 Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G+G        A augmentedA
But I, will remain
         D MajorD     B minorBm
And I'll be back again, and again
  A augmentedA     G+G     F# minorF#m    E minorEm B>C#>D
and again and again and again..
