   A minorAm       C majorC       A minorAm
Come listen and I’ll tell a tale of hardy canyoneers
   C majorC        FF       C majorC
That breed of men the river rats who live without the fears
  FF     C majorC        FF        C majorC
Of common ordinary men whose worries sure are small
  A minorAm         C majorC         A minorAm
Compared to those who flirt with death within that high grey wall

He’ll die a lonely river rat, foolhardy canyoneer

Do you ever wonder what you’d do when all the chips were down
    C majorC           FF         C majorC
If you doubt you’d do what a man would do when danger comes around
   FF        C majorC         FF        C majorC
Then take the test to prove the case to see if courage calls
  A minorAm        C majorC          A minorAm
As waves leap thirty feet or more on the trip through Lava Falls

Verse 3:
  A minorAm         C majorC       A minorAm
At night at rest on a rocky beach he hears a hairy sigh
    C majorC       FF          C majorC
Of the lonely phantom of the gorge whose mournful voices cry
 FF         C majorC        FF         C majorC
Although we ran the rapids wild and with our lives did pay
  A minorAm        C majorC       A minorAm
We welcome you, you canyoneers, who come this dismal way

He’ll die a lonely river rat, foolhardy canyoneer
