1. Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind,
Bm Am Em
if I had
to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind.
Bm Am
I know just where my feet
should go and that's enough for me,
Bm
I turned around and knocked
them down,
Am Em
and
walked across the sea.
Em Am
2. Hadn't travelled very far when suddenly I saw,
Bm Am Em
three
small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore.
Bm Am
So lighting up a cigarette I
followed in pursuit,
Bm
Am
Em
and
found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot.
Em A
Filling up my pockets, even stuffed
it up my nose,
Em A
I must have weighed a hundred
tons between my head and toes.
Em
A
I ventured forth before the dawn
had time to change its mind,
Em Am Em
and soaring
high above the clouds, I found a golden shrine.

3. Laying down my treasure before the iron gate,
Bm
Am Em
quickly
rang the bell, hopeing I hadn't come too late.
Bm
Am
But someone came along and
told me not to waste my time,
Bm
Am Em
and
when I asked him who he was he said "Just look behind".
Em A
So I turned around and 40,000
headmen bit the dirt,
Em A
firing
twenty shotguns each and, man, it really hurt.
Em A
But luckily for me they had to
stop and then reload,
Em - Am Em
and
by the time they'd done I was heading
down the road.

Em A - Em - A Em

Forty thousand headmen on my trail ...
