Highwaymen – American remains

Capo: on first fret (1)

[Verse 1]
(Johnny Cash)

Am                                        F
I am a shotgun rider for the San Jacinto line
       C                                          G
The desert is my brother, my skin is cracked and dry
   Am                                           F
I was riding on a folk coach, and everything was fine
C                                    G
Til we took a shorter road to save some time
         F                                       C
The bandits only fired once, they shot me in the chest
C                                                    G
They  may have wounded me, but they`ll never get the best
          Am                    
Of better men, cause I`ll ride again.


[Verse 2]
(Waylon Jennings)

Am                                           F
I am a river gambler, I make a livin`dealin cards
C                                                        G
My clothes are smooth and honest, my heart is cold and hard
Am                                              F
I was shufflin` for some delta boys on the boat for New Orelans
C                                    G
I was the greatest shark they`d ever seen
F                                        C
But the Captain bumped a sandbar, and an ace fell from my sleeve
C                                            G
The threw me overboard as I swore I didn`t cheat
        Am
But I could swim, and I`ll ride again


[Chorus]

C                                       G
We are heros of the homeland, American remains
F                               Am
We live in many faces and answer many names
      C                                     G
We will not be forgotten, we won`t be left behind
 F                                G
Our memories live on in mortal minds
            Am                   
And poets pens, we`ll ride again


[Verse 3]
(Willie Nelson)

Am                                               F
I am a mid-west farmer, I make a livin` off the land
 C                                           G
I ride a John Deer tractor, I`am a liberated man
Am                                              F
But the rain it hasn`t fallen, since the middle of July
C                                       G
And if it don`t come soon my crops will die
F                                        C
The bank man says he likes me, but there`s nothin`he can do
C                                                       G
He tells me that he`s comin`, but the clounds are comin` too
                Am      
He ain`t my friend, and I`ll ride again.


[Verse 4]
(Kris Kristofferson)

Am                                   F
I am an American Indian, my tribe is Cherokee
       C                                             G
My forefathers loves this land they left it here for me
        Am                                              F
But the white man came with boats and trains and dirty factories
C                                    G
And poisoned my existence with his deeds
F                                        C
Nature is our mother, we are suckling at her breast
C                                                      G
And he who trys to beat her down will lose her to the rest
              Am        
They`ll never win, I`ll ride again


[Chorus]

C                                       G
We are heros of the homeland, American remains
F                               Am
We live in many faces and answer many names
      C                                         G
We will not be forgotten, we won`t be left behind
        F                                    G
Our memories live on in mortal minds
              Am                         
And poets pens we`ll ride again
