I was a

highway

man

,

a

long the

coach roads

I did

ride,

Sword

and

pistol

by my

side,

	Many	a	soldier	shed his	lifeblood	on my	blade,

The

basterds

hung me

in the

spring of

twenty-

But

I am

still a

Verse 2: (Kris Kristofferson / Klausdieter)

	C#m	B	A	C#m7	B	A	B
	I was a	sailor, I was	born upon the	tide,	With the	sea I did a	bide,

	F#m	C#m	B	A
	I sailed a	schooner round the	horn of Mexi	co,

	F#m	C#m	B	A
	I went a	loft and furled the	main sail in a	blow,

	C#m		B	A	C#m	E	B
		And when the	yards broke off they	said that	I've got	killed, But I am living	still...

Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings / Jürgen)

	C#m	B	A	C#m7	B	A	B
	I was a	dam builder,	across the river deep and	wide,	Where steel and	water did col	lide,

	F#m	C#m	B	A
	A place called	Boulder on the	wild Colora	do,

	F#m	C#m	B	A
	I slipped and	fell into the	wet concrete be	low,

	C#m		B	A	C#m	E	B
		They buried	me in that gray	tomb that	knows no	sounds, But I am still a	round...

Verse 4: (Johnny Cash / Peter)

	C#m	B	A	C#m7	B	A	B
	I'll fly a	starship '	cross the universe di	vide,	And when I	reach the other	side,

	F#m	C#m	B	A
	I'll find a	place to rest my	spirit if I	can,

	F#m	C#m	B	A
	Perhaps I	may become a	highwayman a	gain,

	C#m		B	A	C#m	E	B
		Or I may	simply be a	single	drop of	rain, But I will re	main...
