[Verse 1]
[Em]Forty thousand headmen couldn't [Am]make me change [Em]my mind
[Am]If I had t[Em]o take the choice between
[Am]the deaf man and the blind
I [Em]know just where my [C]feet should
[Em]go a[Am]nd that's enough for me
I [D]turned around and [Em]knocked [C]them down
An[Am]d walked across the se[Em]a.[D]
[Em]Hadn't traveled very far
when [Am]suddenly I saw
[Em]Three small ships a sailin'
[Am]towards a distant shore
So [Em]lighting up a cigarette
I [Am]followed in pursuit
And [D]found [G]a secret [Gm]cave [C]where they
[Am]obviously stas[Em]hed their loot
Filling up my pockets even
[A]stuffed it up my nose
I [Em]must have weighed a hundred
tons [A]between my head and toes
I [Em]ventured forth before the dawn
had [A]time to [Asus4]change it's mind
[A]And[Em] soaring high above the clouds I fou[A]nd a g[Em]olden shr[A]ine.[Em][A][Em][A]

[Em]Laying down my treasure
[Am]before the iron [D]gate
[Em]Quickly rang the bell,
hoped [Am]I hadn't come too late
[Em]But someone came along and told
[Am]me not to waste my time
And [F#m]when I a[G#dim]sked him who [C]he was[D]
[A]he said "Just [Em]look behind"
So I turned around and
[A]40,000 headmen bit the dirt
Fir[Em]ing twenty shotguns each
[A]and man it really hurt
But [Em]luckily for me they had
to [A]stop and then reload
And [Em]by the time they'd done I [A]was
heading [G]down the [Em]road.[A][Em]
[A]Heading down the road,
[Em]Forty thousand headmen on my
