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

 Highwayman (J.Webb)

 Am    G          F        Am
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
  G       F  Am   G
With sword and pistol by my side
 Dm   Am         G       Fmaj7
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
 Dm   Am        G        Fmaj7
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
 Am      G       F     G   C
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
   F     G
But I am still alive.
 Am   G      F       Am
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
 G      F  Am  G
And with the sea I did abide.
 Dm    Am        G    Fmaj7
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
  Dm  Am          G      Fmaj7
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
 Am      G          F    G    C
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
  F      G
But I am living still.

 Am   G           F       Am
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
 G        F  Am  G
Where steel and water did collide
 Dm      Am      G    Fmaj7
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
  Dm     Am      G      Fmaj7
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
 Am    G         F     G     C
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
   F      G            C     C/A#    Am
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
 Am/G   F   F/E   Dm  F G E
around and around

 Am    G          F    Am
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
G      F    Am   G
And when I reach the other side
 Dm     Am        G     Fmaj7
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
  Dm   Am       G     Fmaj7
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
 Am    G     F   G    C
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
 F     G
But I will remain

Instrumental:
C    C/A#    Am    Am/G    F  F/E Dm

F G C
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

Original key:
Bm
