[Intro]
Em Em Em Em
Am Am

[Verse]
Am                             G                    Am
   I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
Am                         G                  G
   Got myself a little goldmine to bank on
Dm               Dm                Am            Am
  But one day my heart sank when i saw madame in town
  Am       G          F               Am
I knew her love would be the death of mine

[Verse]
Am                   G        Am
   L'amour passé, l'amour obsolète
Am                 Am                G
   Pourquoi perdre sa vie à chercher l'or d'un coeur?
Dm             Dm           Am           Am
  Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique
   Am    G   F               Am       Am
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars

[Chorus]
C           C             G               G
  Do me a favor while i'm hanging here
C           C               Am    Am
  Take this gold and go and hide

[Verse]
Am                Am         G           Am
   Ne gigote pas, chéri, sur ta corde pendu
      Am    G       F          Am   Am
Don't worry I'll be free in no time

[Solo]
Am Am G Am Am Am G G Dm Dm Am Am
Am G F Am Am

[Verse]
Am             Am            G                  Am
   She promised me she would be there when i'd return
Am                              G                     G
   She didn't say she'd have an army there as well
Dm                 Dm                    Am               Am
   She whispered, "j'taime baby"; as she fired that gun at me
Am   G       F                Am    Am
Mais je n'ai plus beaucoup de temps

[Chorus]
C             C              G
  I should've stayed way out yonder
       C            C             Am      Am
Better off with the scorpions and snakes

[Verse]
      Am               Am            G                Am
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
      Am    G      F         Am     Am
Guess i'm a little late this time
          Am   G     F               Em   Em
Cause her love would be the death of mine
Em    Em  Am   Am
Mine, all mine
