  • Em Em6/9 Em Em6/9 [Em6/9: slide 022000 to 044000]
    Verse 1:
     
  • Em Am7
    Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
    Bm7 Am7
  • If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind
    Bm7 Am7
    I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me
  • Bm7 Am7 /G (Em)
    I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
     
  • [1:] Em Em6/9 Em Em6/9
     
    Verse 2:
  • Hadn't travelled very far when suddenly I saw
    Three small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore
    So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
  • And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
     
    Chorus 1:
  • E7 A7
    Filling up my pockets even stuffed it up my nose
    E7 A7
  • I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
    E7 A7
    I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change it's mind
  • E7 A7 /G Em
    And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
     
  • Verse 3:
    Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
    Quickly rang the bell, hoped I hadn't come too late
  • But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
    And when I asked him who he was he said "just look behind"
     
  • Chorus 2:
    So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirt
    Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt
  • But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
    And by the time they'd done I was heading down the road
     
  • Coda:
    (Em)
    Heading down the road
  • Forty thousand headmen on my trail
    Rambling and rambling
    Rambling and rambling...
  • With forty thousand headmen on my trail
  • PLAY TOO ..
