FEmorty thousand headmen couldn't mAm7ake me change my mind If I Bm7had to take the choice between the dAm7eafman and the blind I kBm7now just where my feet should go and tAm7hat's enough for me Bm7 Am7 /G (Em) I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
[1:] Em Em6/9 Em Em6/9 / / / / / / / / Verse 2: 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 Chorus 1:
FE7illing up my pockets even sA7tuffed it up my nose IE7 must have weighed a hundreA7d tons between my head and toes IE7 ventured forth before the A7dawn had time to change it's mind E7 A7 /G Em And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
Verse 3: 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" Chorus 2: 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 Coda: (Em) Heading down the road Forty thousand headmen on my trail Rambling and rambling Rambling and rambling...
