(Willie Nelson)  
Verse 1:
  
Bm         A                     G                 Bm  
   I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride  
A                G      D     A  
  With sword and pistol by my side  
Em              Bm            A             G  
   Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade  
Em        Bm                A              G  
   Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade  
Bm              A              G         A      D  
   The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five  
    G           A       A  
But I am still alive 
 
    
(Kris Kristofferson)  
Verse 2:
  
Bm         A             G             Bm  
   I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide  
A          G      D    A  
  With the sea, I did abide  
Em            Bm                 A           G  
   I sailed a schooner round the horn to Mexico  
Em         Bm                  A             G  
   I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow  
Bm              A                     G         A     D  
   And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed  
    G           A        A  
But I am living still 
 
     
(Waylon Jennings)  
Verse 3:
   
Bm           A                   G              Bm  
   I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide  
A                 G     D      A  
  Where steel and water did collide  
Em                Bm             A        G  
   A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado  
Em               Bm             A               G  
   I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below  
Bm             A               G         A       D  
   They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound  
    G           A  
But I am still around 
 
    
(All)  
Bridge:
  
                D           A/C#        Bm          A  
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around,  
     G           D/F#     Em           G A D  
and around, and around ... 
 
     
(Johnny Cash)  
Verse 4:
   
Bm            A                   G          Bm  
   I'll fly a starship 'cross the universe divide  
A            G         D     A  
  And when I reach the other side  
Em             Bm               A           G  
   I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can  
Em           Bm               A       G  
   Perhaps I may become a highwayman again  
Bm          A           G      A       D  
   Or I may simply be a single drop of rain  
G            A  
But I will remain 
 
    
Outro: (All)  
   
                  D          A/C#       Bm         A  
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again,  
     G          D/F#     Em           G A D  
and again, and again ...
