If He Came Back Again
The Highwayman

Intro:
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD
You'd have thought a king had died,

The way those people cried
 G+G               D MajorD
Instead of one more broken entertainer
D MajorD
It struck those in his trade

He could have had it made
G+G              D MajorD
If he'd only been a little saner
A augmentedA
 They traveled far to see him
     D MajorD       G+G
Oh, the humble and the high
   D MajorD       B minorBm      F# minorF#m  G+G
They said goodbye as if he were a friend

   A augmentedA
Now somewhere he is smiling
   D MajorD      G+G
On those who idolized him
   D MajorD        B minorBm    A augmentedA
But would they even recognize him
         D MajorD
If he came back again?

D MajorD
He was born of modest means

But had outrageous dreams
 G+G
They never let him rest
      D MajorD
Till he fulfilled them
While he rode that train of song
His devils tagged along
   G+G
The whiskey and the pills
        D MajorD
Just couldn't kill him
      A augmentedA
He didn't mean to be a rebel
     D MajorD       G+G
Ah, the real ones never do
     D MajorD        B minorBm   F# minorF#m G+G
They're born apart from ordinary men

   A augmentedA
And somewhere he is smiling
   D MajorD      G+G
On those who sanctified him
   A augmentedA        B minorBm   A augmentedA
But would they even recognize him
         D MajorD
If he came back again?

     A augmentedA
It's an old familiar story
       D MajorD         G+G
But it's a damn shame none the less
   B minorBm
They don't forgive his kind
      G+G        A augmentedA
Till they lay them down to rest

A augmentedA
And somewhere he is smiling
   D MajorD      G+G
On those who idolized him
   A augmentedA        B minorBm    A augmentedA
But would they even recognize him
         D MajorD
If he came back again?

D MajorD
Oh, if he came back again
