SIm
Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)
SIm LA SOL SIm
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
LA SOL LA
Sword and pistol by my side,
MIm SIm LA SOL
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
MIm SIm LA SOL
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
SIm LA SOL LA RE
The bastards hung me in the spring of 25,
SIm SOL LA
But I am still alive
Verse 2: (Kris Kristofferson)
SIm LA SOL LA SIm
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
LA SOL LA
With the sea I did abide,
MIm SIm LA SOL
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
MIm SIm LA SOL
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
SIm LA SOL LA RE
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed,
SIm SOL LA
But I am living still
Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)
SIm LA SOL SIm
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide,
LA SOL LA
Where steel and water did collide,
MIm SIm LA SOL
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
MIm SIm LA SOL
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below,
SIm LA SOL LA RE
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
SIm SOL LA
But I am still around,
Bridge: (All)
RE RE/DO# SIm LA SOL RE/FA# MIm
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around...
Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)
SIm LA SOL SIm
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
LA SOL LA
And when I reach the other side,
MIm SIm LA SOL
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
MIm SIm LA SOL
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
SIm LA SOL LA RE
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
SIm SOL LA
But I will remain,
Outro: (All)
RE RE/DO# SIm LA SOL RE/FA# MIm
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
