In the desert [G#] where we search for gold, [C#] the days are hot, [G#] the nights are cold.
[C#] Hank and Joe [F#] and me walked on [G#] so bold and [C#] brave and free.
For days and [G#] days we fought the heat, [C#] I got so thirsty [G#] and I got so weak.
[C#] And when I fell [F#] cause I couldn't go, [G#] I heard Hank say [C#] to Joe,
He's [G#] dying for [C#] water. _
Hear [G#] him crying _ [C#] for water. _ _
Well lay him down in the dust and sand.
He said, Joe you know [A#m] he's a dying man.
[C#] Leave him there [A#] and let him die.
[C#] I can't stand [G#] to hear him cry [C#] for water.
_ _ I don't remember [G#] how long I lay, [C#] but when I awoke it [G#] was the break of day.
[C#] Buzzards circled [F#] miles ahead on [G#] you Hank and Joe [C#] were dead.
My eyes were [G#] dimmed but I could see [C#] a bed of gold [G#] nuggets under me.
[C#] Now I know that [F#] it won't be long till [G#] they decorate my [C#] bones.
Cause I'm dying _ [G#] _
for water.
Can't [G#] help crying _ [C#] for water.
_ _ Well they laid me down in [A#m] the dust and sand.
He [C#] said, Joe you know he's [A#m] a dying man.
[C#] Leave him there [A#m] and let him die.
[C#] I can't stand [G#] to hear him cry [C#] for water. _ _
He couldn't stand [G#] to hear me cry [C#] for water.
