| Intro: |
| A A |
| A Bm |
| A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes |
| E |
| Were smoking out |
| E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
| along the open road |
| A Bm |
| The night was very dark and thick between them |
| E E7 |
| Each man beneath |
| A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
| his ordinary load |
| D A |
| "I'd like to tell my story," |
| B E E7 |
| Said one of them so young and bold |
| D A |
| "I'd like to tell my story |
| F#m E Esus4 E E7 |
| Before I turn into gold." |
| A Bm |
| But no one really could hear him |
| E E7 |
| The night so dark |
| A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
| and thick and green |
| A |
| Well I guess that these heroes |
| Bm |
| must always live there |
| E E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
| Where you and I have only been |
| D A |
| Put out your cigarette, my love |
| B E E7 |
| You've been alone too long |
| D A |
| And some of us are very hungry now |
| F#m |
| To hear what it is you've done |
| E Esus4 E E7 |
| that was so wrong |
| A Bm |
| I sing this for the crickets |
| E E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
| I sing this for the army |
| A Bm |
| I sing this for your children |
| E E7 A A4 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 |
| And for all who do not need me |
| D A |
| "I'd like to tell my story," |
| B E E7 |
| Said one of them so bold |
| D A |
| "Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story |
| F#m |

| E Esus4 E E7 |
| I'm turning into gold." |
