[Verse]
A#m G# A#m
I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
A#m G# G#
Got myself a little goldmine to bank on
D#m D#m A#m A#m
But one day my heart sank when i saw madame in town
A#m G# F# A#m
I knew her love would be the death of mine
[Verse]
A#m G# A#m
L'amour passé, l'amour obsolète
A#m A#m G#
Pourquoi perdre sa vie à chercher l'or d'un coeur?
D#m D#m A#m A#m
Je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique
A#m G# F# A#m A#m
Je ferme mes comptes et je repars
[Chorus]
C# C# G# G#
Do me a favor while i'm hanging here
C# C# A#m A#m
Take this gold and go and hide
[Verse]
A#m A#m G# A#m
Ne gigote pas, chéri, sur ta corde pendu
A#m G# F# A#m A#m
Don't worry I'll be free in no time
[Solo]

[Verse]
A#m A#m G# A#m
She promised me she would be there when i'd return
A#m G# G#
She didn't say she'd have an army there as well
D#m D#m A#m A#m
She whispered, "j'taime baby"; as she fired that gun at me
A#m G# F# A#m A#m
Mais je n'ai plus beaucoup de temps
[Chorus]
C# C# G#
I should've stayed way out yonder
C# C# A#m A#m
Better off with the scorpions and snakes
[Verse]
A#m A#m G# A#m
Every act which has no heart will be found out in the end
A#m G# F# A#m A#m
Guess i'm a little late this time
A#m G# F# Fm Fm
Cause her love would be the death of mine
Fm Fm A#m A#m
Mine, all mine
