Key:
G D G Two lovers stood in the white, white sand
G D G A dark-eyed maiden and her tall lover man
G D G With surprise and pain in her eyes
G D G She clung to the hand of her tall lover man [Chorus]
D They're lyin' to me, aren't they, Jim
D She asked him
C D That fair-haired girl with those blue, blue eyes
D Is not your wife, is she Jim
C G And with tears in her eyes and her sad, sad cries
G D G She clung to the hand of her tall lover man

[Verse]
G D G In the darkness, he let go of her hand
D G I'm not to blame, it was a game
C G For that fair-haired woman is my wife
G D G And she will be all of my life [Chorus]
D You're lyin' to me, aren't you Jim,
D she asked him
C D If lovin' me was a sport, then your life will be short
D She said to him, Whoooo
C G And the blade of the maid struck the man
G D G As the blood flowed in the sand from her tall lover man [Verse]
G D G Two lovers lyin' in the white, white sand
G D G I'll die with you, my tall lover man
G D G And her blade found its mark in the dark
G D G As she clung to the hand of her tall lover man [Chorus]
D You're lyin' to me, aren't you, Jim,
D she asked him
C D That fair-haired girl with those blue blue eyes won't be your wife, my Jim
C G And with tears in her eyes and sad, sad cries
G D G She died in the sand by her tall lover man
