[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
I live out [Am]yonder where
the [G]snakes and scorpions [Am]run
Got myself a little goldmine [G]to bank on
[Dm]But one day my heart sank
when I [Am]saw madame in town
I knew her [G]love [F]would be
the death of mine
[Am]

[Verse 2]
L'amour passait, l'amour
[G]obs[Am]olate
Pourquoi perdre sa vie cherch
[G]er l'or d'un coeur?
[Dm]Je ne me noier[Am]ai pas
dans ce dasert mystique
Je [G]ferme mes [F]comptes et [Am]je r[C]epars

[Verse 3]
Do me a favor while I'm [G]hanging [C]here
Take this gold and go an[Am]d hide
"Ne gigote pas, chéri"
"Sur ta [G]corde, [Am]pendu"
Don't worry, [G]I'll be [F]free in [C]no[Am]

[Interlude 1]

[Dm][Am][G][F][Am]

[Verse 4]
She promised [Am]me she would
[G]be there when I'd return
[Am]She didn't say she'd have
a whole [G]army there as well
[Dm]She whispered, "je t'aime,
baby" as she [Am]fired that gun at me
"Mais je [G]n'ai [F]plu[Am]s de
[G]temps"[C]

[Verse 5]
I should've [C]stayed way out [G]yonder
Better [C]off with the scorpions
an[G]d s[Am]nakes
Every act which has no heart will
[G]be found out in [Am]the end
Guess I'm a [G]little [F]late this [Am]time
'Cause her [G]love [F]would
be the death of [Em]mine
Mine, [C]all [G]mine

[Outro 1]
