The Cannibal Hiking Disaster

  Am                           Dm
I took a trip with Jed my pal, went 
to France the mountain snow
G                              Am
There was sky the sun was low, I 
could feel the dark below
Am                                
Pitched the tent we took the rope,
  Dm
 attached it to a friendly slope
G                            
There's no water there I hope, 
  Am
there's no water there I hope


Am                             Dm
Jed he fell he called my name, I 
just stand I don't again
G                             Am
See his face in my dream now, see 
his face as I looked down
   Am                              
Oh where you are oh why'd' you 
  Dm
call? My oh my I have to fall
G                               
Down the face to help with Jed, he 
Am
was there no pulse he's dead

Dm
in the tent, I'm in the tent
G                              Am
How d'you stop from losing it, It 
was just an accident
Am                              
Tried to hike and get some help 
Dm
ankles hurt like nothing else
G                             Am
Waiting for some help to come hoping
 that I'll see the sun


  Am                               
I start to think I'm surely doomed 
Dm
got no water got no food
G                           Am
This for me must be the end maybe I 
should eat my friend
  Am                              
I took a strip off of his thigh a 
Dm
muscley bit I start to fry
G                          Dm
In my Trangia from my pack suddenly 
I heard a gasp


Am                         Dm
Jed was up and on his feet I 
couldn't move I couldn't speak
G                               
He knows of what I tried to eat he 
Am
was not dead he was asleep
   Am                              
How do you explain to your best pal
     Dm
 that you've become a cannibal?
   G                              
We made it out all safe and sound 
Am
three weeks later we were found


  Am                          Dm
I took a trip with Jed my pal went 
to France the mountain snow
G                             Am
There was sky the sun was low I 
could feel the dark below
