_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [Gm] _ _ [A#m] _ _ [D] _ [Gm] Hey!
Give me a listen, you [D] corpses of cheer, [Gm] at least those of you who still [D] got an [Gm] ear.
I'll tell [A#] you a story [Cm] and make a [C#] skeleton [D] cry of our own jubilatiously lovely [A#] corn variety.
[A#m] Day by day we all [C#] pass [A#m] away, the work done costs us [F] we'll be okay.
[F#] You might [F] try to hide [F#] and you might [F] try to pray, but behold and up, the remains [A#] of the day. _
_ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ [F] _ [A#m] _
_ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ [Em] Well, [F#m]
there was a beauty known for [C#] miles around, [F#m] when a mysterious _ [D] stranger came into [C#] town.
[Bm] He was [F#m] plenty good looking, [D] with a [C#] down on his cash, and our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast when [F#m] her daddy said no.
[Bm] She [C] just couldn't cope, [C#] so her lovers came up with a plan to elope.
[Am] _
Day by day we all [E] pass [Am] away, the work done costs [E] us we'll be okay.
[F] You might [E] try to hide [F] and you might [E] try to pray, but behold and up, the [Am] remains of the day.
Well, [G#] there was a _ [C] _ [F] beauty [Em] [Am] known for miles around, when a mysterious stranger came into town.
[G#] He [C] was plenty good looking, [F] with a down on [Em] his [A#m] cash, _
[F] _ _ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ [A#m] _ _ _
[Am] and our [F] poor little baby, [E] she fell hard and fast when her daddy said _ _ _ no.
_ _ Hey! _
_ _ That's [D] right! _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Fm] Oh yeah!
Come on, boys!
_ _ You like _ _ _ _
_ [C#] it?
[D] _ Okay, [F] Charles, you take [C#m] it!
_ [Fm] _ One, _ [B]
two, [F] three, go!
_ [C#] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ that's [D#] nice!
[C#m] _ _
_ _ _ Yeah!
[F#] So they conjured [C#] up a plan [Gm] to meet [F#m] late at [F] night.
[A#m] It turned out [C#m] a soul kept [F#] the [F] whole thing tight.
[B] Now her mother's [F] wedding dress fit like [Bm] a glove.
You don't need much [F] when you're really [G] in [Cm] love, [B] except [D#m] for a few [G#] things, [G] or so I'm [Cm] told.
Like [B] the family jewels [G#] and a [G] satchel of [D#] gold.
Then, next to the [G#] graveyard [A] by the old oak tree, [C#m] on a dark foggy night at a quarter to three, she was [E] ready to go.
But [Cm] where was he?
_ [G#] _ _
_ [F#m] _ Hmm?
She waited.
[B] _
[A] There in the [C#] shadows, [A] was it her [G#m] man? _
Her little heart beat [G#] so loud.
[Gm] _
_ _ _ And then, baby, _ everything went [F#] _ black.
[Gm] And when she opened her eyes, she was [D] dead as [Gm] dust.
Her jewels were [A#] missing and her [D] heart was bust.
[Gm]
So she made a [Cm] vow, lying under [C#] that tree, [Gm] that she'd wait for her true [A] love to come [A#m] set her free.
[Gm] She's always waiting for someone [Cm] to ask [C#] for her hand.
[Gm]
And out of the blue [Cm] comes this [C#] groovy young [D] man, who vows forever to be by her side.
And that's the story of [C] a [A#] _ [Bm] gold throne!
And if I were you, I'd be spinning.
And if I were you, [F#] I'd be tossing a chain.
And if I were you, I'd be spinning.
[G] You [F#] might try to hide, [G] you might try [F#] to play.
But we all know that _ gold's a real thing.
So you [Bm]
know, gold's a real _ thing.
Yeah! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
