40,000 Headmen Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Forty thousand headmen couldn't
make [A]me [Am]change my mind
If I [Bm]had to take the choice between
[Am]the deafman and the blind
I know [Bm]just where my feet should
go [Am]and that's enough for me
I [Bm]turned around and knocked them down
[A]and walked [Am]across the [Em]sea.

[Verse 2]
[Em]
Hadn't traveled very far
when [Am]suddenly I saw
Three [Bm]small ships a-sailing out
out [Am]towards a distant shore
So [Bm]lighting up a cigarette
[Am]I followed in pursuit
And [Bm]found a secret cave where they
obvi[G]ously stashed [Em]their loot.

[Verse 3]
[Em]Filling up my pockets,
even [A]stuffed it up my nose
I [Em]must have weighed a hundred
tons between [A]my head and toes
I [Em]ventured out before the dawn had time
[A]to change its mind
[Em]And soaring high above the cloud

[Verse 4]
I found a golden shrine.
[Em]Laying down my treasure be
[A]fore [Am]the iron gate
[Bm]Quickly rang the bell hoping
I [Am]hadn't come too late
But [Bm]someone came along and told
me [Am]not to waste my time
And [Bm]when Iasked him who [A]he was he said,
[G]'Just [Em]look behind.'

[Verse 5]
So I turned around and [Em]forty
thousand [A]headmen hit the dirt
Fir[Em]ing twenty shotguns each [A]and man,
it really hurt
But [Em]luckily for me they had
[A]to stop and then reload
And [Em]by the time they'd done that I[A] was h[G]eadi[Em]ng

[Outro 1]
down the road.
