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

L'amour passé, l'amour obete.
Pourquoi perdre sa vie a chercher l'or d'un coeur?
Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique.
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars.

G
Do me a favor while I'm hanging here
Am
Take this gold and go and hide
Am                           G      Am
ne gigote pas chéri sur ta corde pendue
         Am    G   F             Am
don't worry I'll be free in no time.

Am                               G
She promised me she would be there when I'd return
Am                                 G
she didn't say she'd have a army there as well
Dm                                              Am
she whispered, "J'taime Baby," as she fired that gun at me.
Am  G  F                   Am
mais je n'ai plus de temps 

G
I should've stayed way out yonder
Am
better off with the scorpi-ons and snakes
Am                                              G                  Am
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end          

    Am  G  F      Am
Yes I'm a little late this time,
            Am   G  F                Mim
cause her love would be the death of mine,
            Am
mine, all mine
