Subject: Chords Add: THE HIGHWAYMAN (Jimmy Webb)
It's been quite a while since I heard it, but I think this chord sequence will work nicely. See how it sounds to you. 
  Em      D                                       Em  
  I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
  D                           G                       
  With sword and pistol by my side                    
  Em                         Am                       
  Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade      
  Em                      Am                          
  Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade       
  Am           C              D                Em     
  The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five   
  D               Em                                  
  But I am still alive.
