C# G#7 In the desert where we searched for gold F# G#7 The days were hot the nights were cold F# A#m Hank and Joe and Me walked on G#7 C# So bold and brave and free For days and days we fought the heat I got so thirsty and I got so weak And when I fell because I couldn't go I heard Hank say to Joe Chorus: C#7 He's dying D# (Dying dying) C#7 For water Hear him crying (Crying crying) For water Well lay him down in the dust and sand he said Joe you know he's a dying man Leave him there and let him die I can't stand to hear him cry for water I don't remember how long I lay But when I awoke it was the break of day Buzzards circled miles ahead I knew Hank and Joe were dead My eyes were dimmed but I could see A bed of gold nuggets under me Now I know that it won't be long Till they decorate my bones Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A#m C# C#7 D# F# G#7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
