The White Buffalo – Highwayman (Guitar)

Bm      A          G
I was a highwayman

                         Bm
On the coach roads I did ride

A                G             A     
With a sword and pistol by my side

Em          D                 A            G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade

Em       D               A              G     Bm
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade

             A              G                   A
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five

    D           A
But I'm still alive

Bm      A      G
I was a sailor

                        Bm   A
And I was born upon the tide

             G           A
And with the sea I did abide.

Em          D                 A            G
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico

Em       D                A              G   Bm
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow

          A                    G             A
When the yards broke off they said that I got killed

    D         A
But I'm living still

Bm      A           G
I was a dam builder

                           Bm    A
Across this river deep and wide

                G                 A    Em
Where steel and water did collide

                  D               A        G    Em
In a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado

              D               A             G   Bm
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below

             A                G                  A
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound

    D            A
But I'm still around

                   Bm           A           G
And I'll always be around, and around, and around

Bm         A      G
I flew a starship

                       Bm    A
Across the universe divide

           G                A    Em
And when I reach the other side

            D                 A         G    Em
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can

           D            A              G   Bm
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again

         A            G            A
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain

    D     A
But I will remain

                   Bm         A          G    
And I'll come back again, and again, and again

    Bm         A          G    
And again, and again, and again
