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