Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Intro: C Chorus: F C Pick up, pick up the golden spear G Am Chuck it as far as the eye can see F C G But get up and walk away if you're still alive F C Take off, take off your long black veil G Am Roll of the highs, just try to make bail F C G C I don't expect for you to help me now Verse 1: F C I stirred to wake up early this morning E Am I dug at the gold in a bad design F C I said if I can make this tight connection G Then I'm gonna leave this world behind
