C                   G7
In the desert where we searched for gold
F                 G7
The days were hot the nights were cold
F                Am
Hank and Joe and Me walked on
G7                    C
So bold and brave and free
                     G7
For days and days we fought the heat
F                      G7
I got so thirsty and I got so weak
F                     Am
And when I fell cause I couldn’t go
G7                  C
I heard Hank say to Joe
     G7          C               G7          C
He’s dieing  for water  hear him crying  for water
                         Am
Well lay him down in the dust and sand
        C                   Am
He said Joe you know he’s a dieing man
C                   Am
Leave him there and let him die
C                G7               C
I can’t stand to hear him cry for water
                      G7
I don’t remember how long I lay
F                          G7
But when I woke it was the break of day
F                Am
Buzzards circled miles ahead
       G7                C
I knew Hank and Joe were dead
                     G7
My eyes were dim but I could see
F                     G7
A bed of gold nuggets under me
F                  Am
Now I know that it won’t be long
          G7          C
Till they decorate my bones
          G7          C                 G7          C
Cause I’m dieing  for water  can’t help crying  for water
                              Am
They said lay him down in the dust and sand
        C                   Am
He said Joe you know he’s a dieing man
C                   Am
Leave him there and let him die
C                G7               C
I can’t stand to hear him cry for water
                     G7              C
He couldn’t stand to hear me cry for water
