I am a highwayman, on the road again

Em     C      G           Bm   Em

Me and my guitar, am a rambling band 

Em        C    G       Bm       Em

Looking in the wrong, standing in the blow 

C

Carrying on alone cause I’ll never gonna go my way                                     

                                                                               Em

Look up to the sky, cities flying by 

C

I don’t wanna lie cause I’m pretty sure I’m gonna die one day

                                                                                       Em


So I say the road leads back to thee 

Em           G          Bm      Em

It always leads back to thee 

C            Bm      Em

How can I show my love so you will open your arms to me 

G         Bm              C                  D       Em


So please won’t you tell me 

Em     C      G           Bm   Em

Where the road will end 

Em        C    G       Bm       Em

Got me a bottle 

C

As my only friend 

                     Em


Standing in the rain, dealing with the pain 

Everything’s the same and it doesn’t really matter what I say 

Picking up the phone, come to take you home 

You will say no doubts, the reality of today 


So I say the road leads back to thee 

Em           G          Bm      Em

It always leads back to thee 

C            Bm      Em

Please won’t you understand that without you by my side 

C

There’s no meaning 

                     Em


So will you ever love me again, only time will tell 

I’m in a hurry, cause they’re waiting down in hell 


And no matter what I say say or do 

The road lead back to you…
