(Willie)
AmI was a Ghighwayman. Along theF coach roads I diAmd ride
GWith sword and Fpistol by myG side
DmMany a young Ammaid lost her Gbaubles to mFy trade
DmMany a Amsoldier shed hisG lifeblood on mFy blade
AmThe bastards Ghung me, in theF spring of twentCy-five
FBut I am still Galive.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Kris)
AmI was a Gsailor. I was Fborn upon the Amtide
GAnd with the Fsea I did Gabide.
DmI sailed a Amschooner round the GHorn to FMexico
DmI went Amaloft and furled the Gmainsail in a Fblow
AmAnd when the yards Gbroke off, they Fsaid that I got Ckilled
FBut I am living Gstill.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(Waylon)
AmI was a dam Gbuilder. Across the Friver deep and Amwide.
GWhere steel and Fwater did Gcollide.
DmA place called AmBoulder on the Gwild ColoraFdo
DmI slipped and Amfell into the Gwet concrete Fbelow
AmThey buried me, Gin that great Ftomb that knows no Amsound
FBut I am still Garound..
GI'll always be Caround and Amaround...G........F. Em Dm

(Johnny)
AmI fly a Gstarship across the FUniverse Amdivide
GAnd when I Freach the other Gside
DmI'll find a Amplace to rest my Gspirit if I Fcan
DmPerhaps I Ammay become a Ghighwayman Fagain
AmOr I may Gsimply be a Fsingle drop of Amrain
GBut IF, will rGemain
GAnd I'll be back Cagain, and Amagain and Gagain and Fagain and EmagainDm..
