Verse 1:
MIm LAm7
Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
SIm7 LAm7
If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind
SIm7 LAm7
I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me
SIm7 LAm7 /SOL (Em)
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
1 MIm MIm6/ MIm MIm6/
Verse 2:
Hadn't travelled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
Chorus 1
MI7 LA7
Filling up my pockets even stuffed it up my nose
MI7 LA7
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
MI7 LA7
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change it's mind
MI7 LA7 /SOL MIm
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
Verse 3:
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell, hoped I hadn't come too late
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was he said "just look behind"
Chorus 2
So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done I was heading down the road
Coda:
(Em)
Heading down the road
Forty thousand headmen on my trail
Rambling and rambling
Rambling and rambling...
With forty thousand headmen on my trail
