🎸 Verse 1:
  F minorFm       AbAb
In 1928 Glen and Bessie met their fate
   GbGb          BbmBbm
From Twin Falls down the Colorado

In a handmade canoe, what happened to these two

Is up to who you ask but full of sorrow

     F minorFm               AbAb
It took twenty-six full days to find the heart of the maze

Deep in the canyon they were swallowed
  F minorFm                AbAb
He dragged his new wife through his treacherous life

For cheap thrills he took their tomorrows

Did you make it, did you make it, did you make it on your own?

He put ‘em up for the night, warmed ‘em up by the stove
      GbGb           BbmBbm
Saying: At least let me save your companion

🎸 Verse 4:
  F minorFm         AbAb
The years flew by and Kolb passed on
   GbGb           BbmBbm
They found some bones in his boathouse
  F minorFm            AbAb
A augmentedA bullet in the skull from another dawn
GbGb           BbmBbm
Under the piles of his photos

🎸 Chorus:
    AbAb        C minorCm       GbGb     DbDb
Did you make it, did you make it, did you make it on your own?
      AbAb    C minorCm     GbGb       DbDb   AbAb
Or did you fake it, fake it, leave someone else’s bones?
GbGb     DbDb
Someone else bones?

Fifty years later the tale turned to 🏷Legend

By the fire, she said without smiling

I'm Bessie
I killed him
I was simply surviving
  GbGb             DbDb        Fm7Fm7
I'm Bessie
I killed him
I was simply surviving
