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

Chorus:
      F                    C
Well, pick up, pick up the golden spear

Chuck it as far as the eye can see
F                  C                    G
Get up and walk away if you're still alive
F                       C
Take off, take off your long black veil
Am                       G
Roll off the highs, just kid to make bail
F                  C              G    C
I don't expect for you to help me now

  How are you cleaning up the debris?
E                             Am
  Losing to champion Jack Dupree
F                                         C
  But how do you hear how the turtledove sings
G
How do you feel how the scorpion stings?

Roll off the highs, and try to make bail

On the side of the highway
