Key:
G Em Cortes sailed on his boat so brave
Bm It was too late to trade
Am7 His treasures for feathers
D As he was sinking down under the waves
D7 Where his cannons won’t fire
G And his flags won’t wave no more
Em And those shipwrecked ghosts
C Floating like driftwood
D ‘Til one bright morning
D7 They come washing up on your shore [Chorus]
G D Oh now don’t tell ‘em everything thing you know
C Let the whole world wonder
G D When the time is right to give up the gold
C Hold a little back for the folks back home
Continues after the ad
G Checked out of my room
Em Walked down to the Rio Grande
Bm Fortune teller on the sidewalk
Am7 Laughing at the way I talk
D He drew a map upon my hand
D7 G Said what’s to be and what might have been
E So I pulled up these chains
C And set a course for the Spanish main
D And I’ll be coming back someday
D7 Baby, but I don’t know when [Chorus]
G D Oh now don’t tell ‘em everything you know
C Let the whole world wonder
G D When the time is right to give up the gold
C Hold a little back for the folks back home
Em C Empty handed ‘cept for a sidewalk rose
Bm Hey mama, it ain’t easy
C To keep that skillet good and greasy
D A pot of coffee on the stove [Chorus]
G D Now don’t tell ‘em everything you know
C Let the whole world wonder
G D When the time is right to give up the gold
C Hold a little back for the folks back home (Hold a little back for the folks) [Chorus]
G D Don’t tell ‘em everything you know
C Let the whole world wonder
G D When the time is right to give up the gold
C Hold a little back for the folks back home
