Intro Em Em Em Em Am Am Am G Am I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run Am G got myself a little goldmine to bank on Dm 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 Am G Am L'amour, passe! L'amour, obsolete! Am G Pourquoi perdre sa vie a chercher l'or d'un coeur! Dm Am Je ne me noierai pas dans ce desert mystique Am G F Am Je ferme mes comptes et je repars. C G Do me a favour while I'm hangin' here C Am Take this gold and go and hide Am G Ne gigote pas cherie, sur ta corde au pendu. Am G F Am Don't worry. I'll be free in no time. Am / G / Am / G / Dm / Am / G / F / Am Am G Am She promised me she would be there when I'd return Am G she didn't say she'd have an army there as well Dm Am G Am she whispered, "J'taime, Baby," as she fired the gun at me. Am G F Am It's getting late and I'm running out of time C G I should have stayed way out yonder C Am better off with the scorpions and snakes C G Am Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end Am G F Am Guess I'm a little late this time, Am G F Em G Am 'cause her love would be the death of mine, mine, all mine
