Johnny Cash - Hank and Joe and Me: chords

C#                      G#7
In the desert where we searched for gold
     F#                G#7
The days were hot the nights were cold
F#               A#m
Hank and Joe and Me walked on
G#7                    C#
So bold and brave and free

For days and days we fought the heat
I got so thirsty and I got so weak
And when I fell because I couldn't go
I heard Hank say to Joe

Chorus:
      C#7
He's dying
        D#
(Dying dying)
     C#7
For water
Hear him crying
(Crying crying)
For water

Well lay him down in the dust and sand he said
Joe you know he's a dying man
Leave him there and let him die
I can't stand to hear him cry for water

I don't remember how long I lay
But when I awoke it was the break of day
Buzzards circled miles ahead
I knew Hank and Joe were dead

My eyes were dimmed but I could see
A bed of gold nuggets under me
Now I know that it won't be long
Till they decorate my bones

Chorus
