A Campfire Song

INTRO: G D/F# Em D C ... D G

(G)            D                  
 A lie to say "Oh, my mountain has
 Em                     C
 coal veins and beds to dig
G             D                 
 Five hundred men with axes and 
C                D
they all dig for me"
(same chords)
A lie to say "Oh, my river where 
many fish do swim
Half of your catch is mine when you 
haul your nets in"

       C               G          
 Oh no, never will he believe that
    C          G        D
 his greed is a blinding ray
C          G           C
No devil or redeemer will cheat him
    G                  Em    D    
(First ending: C  D G)

He'll take his gold to where he's 
lying cold
A lie to say "Oh, my mine gave a 
diamond big as a fist"
But for every gem in his pocket, the
 jewels he has missed
A lie to say "Oh, my garden is 
growing taller by the day"
He only eats the best and tosses the
 rest away

CHORUS: end with
        C    D           G
         Six deep in the grave

SOLO: Dsus4 D Cmaj9 Dsus4

            C                    
BRIDGE: His oldest pain      and 
Gmaj9   G/B  C             D
fear in life      There'll not be 
time
                   (Something is out
 of reach, something he wanted)
            C                    
        His oldest pain      and 
Gmaj9   G/B  C           D
fear in life    There'll not be time
                   (Something is out
 of reach, he's being taunted)
           C               Gmaj9  
        Oh no,                    
G/B       C        G               C
      hey hey,
             (Something is out of 
reach,        that he can't beg or 
steal)
        D          G (go right into 
verse)
        Nor can he buy

A lie to say "Oh, my forest has 
trees that block the sun
And when I cut them down I don't 
answer to anyone"

CHORUS, then repeat chorus chords 
with "La la la..."

        Em      D       C       
ENDING: Lonely, lonely, lonely, 
D      G
lonely man
