And walked cross the sea.
(same chord pattern as 1st verse)
Hadn't travelled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
E7 Filling up my pockets even A7 stuffed it up my nose
I E7 must have weighed a hundred tons bet A7 ween my head and toes
I E7 ventured forth before the dawn had A7 time to change it's mind
And E7 soaring high above the clouds I A found a G golden Em
shrine.
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell, hoped I hadn't come too late
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was he said "Just look behind"
So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns each and man it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done I was heading down the road.
inst. break on Em
Heading down the road,
Forty thousand headmen on my trail
end on
