Standard tuning Palm mute = * (you should mute very light) One strum = I was a highwayman On 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 shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive. I was a sailor And I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide. * I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico * I went aloft to furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I'm living still. I was a dam builder Across this river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide * In a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado * I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below Then 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 I flew 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.....
