Highwayman2

Highwayman by the Highwaymen Intro Lick: This is played with palm muting e-------------------------------- B-------------------------------- G-------------------------------- D-----2-3-4-3-2------------------ A-2-5-----------5-2-------------- E-------------------------------- I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did ride with sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade. Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade. The bastards hung me in the spring of '25 But I am still alive. I was a sailor; I was born upon the tide with the sea I did abide I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico I went aloft to 'furl the mainsail in a 'blow and when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still. I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wide Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around I'll always be around and around and around and around and around I fly a starship across the universe divide and when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain and I'll be back again and again and again and again and again Fin
