Tell Me More

Johnny Cash - Highwayman

Author And Composer: Jimmy Webb

Intro:

Bm Bm Bm Bm

Bm A

I was a highwayman

A G Bm A

Along the coach roads I did ride

G D A Em

With sword and pistol by my side

Em Bm

Many a young girl lost her

A G Em

Baubles to my trade

Bm A

Many a soldier shed his lifeblood

G Bm

On my blade

They finally hung me in the

G A D

Spring of twenty-five

G A Bm

But I am still alive

Bm A

I was a sailor

G Bm A

I was born upon the tide

G D A Em

And with the sea I did abide

I sailed a schooner round

A G Em

The horn to Mexico

I went aloft and furled the

A G Bm

Mainsail in a blow

Bm A

And when the yards broke off

G A D

They said that I got killed

G A Bm

But I am living still

Bm A

I was a dam builder across

G Bm A

The river deep and wide

Where steel and water

D A Em

Did collide

Em Bm

A place called Boulder on

A G Em

The wild Colorado

I slipped and fell into the

A G Bm

Wet concrete below

They buried me in that great

G A D

Tomb that knows no sound

G A

But I am still around

A D

Yes I'll always be around

A/C# Bm

And around and around and

A G

Around and around

D/F# Em G A D Bm

Around

Bridge:

A G Bm Bm x2

Bm A

I fly a starship across the

G Bm A

Universe divide

G D A Em

And when I reach the other side

I'll find a place to rest

A G Em

My spirit if I can

Bm A

Perhaps I may become a highwayman

G Bm

Again

Bm A G

Or I may simply be a single

A D

Drop of rain

G A

But I will remain and I'll

Be back again

A/C# Bm A

And again and again and again

G D/F# Em

And again and again

Bridge:

A G Bm Bm x2

Ending:

G A D
