Em
Am


Couplets

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
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


L'amour pass, l'amour obGte.
Pourquoi perdre sa vie  chercher l'or d'un coeur?
Je ne me noierai  pas dans ce dsert mystique.
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars.

Refrain

c			     G
Do me a Favor while I'm hanging here

c				 Am
Take this gold and go and hide

Am			     G	    Am
ne gigote pas chri sur ta corde pendue

	Am    G	  F		Am
cn't worry I'll be free in no time.


Jouer un couplet sans chanter

Couplet 3

Am				 G			  Am
She promised me she would be there when I'd return

Am 				   G
she didn't say she'd have a army there as well

Dm						Am
she whispered, "J'taime Baby," as she fired that gun at me.

Am  G  F		   Am
mais je n'ai plus de temps


Refrain

   c				  G
I should've stayed way out yonder

	 c             		    Am 
better off with the scorpi-ons and snakes

Am						G		   Am
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end

    Am	G  F	  Am
Yes I'm a little late this time,

	    Am   G  F		     Mim
cause her love would be the death of mine,

	    Am
mine, all mine
