[Intro]

D A/C# Bm A G A A


[Verse 1]

D A Bm G
A lie to say, "O my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig.
D A G A
Five hundred men with axes and they all dig for me."
D A Bm G
A lie to say, "O my river where many fish do swim,
D A G A
Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in."


[Chorus]

G D G G A
Oh no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray.
G D G
No devil or redeemer will cheat him.
G D Bm A G G G A
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold.


[Verse 2]

D A Bm G
A lie to say, "O my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist."
D A G A
But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed.
D A Bm G
A lie to say, "O my garden is growing taller by the day."
D A G A
He only eats the best and tosses the rest away.


[Chorus]

G D G G A
Oh no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray.
G D G
No devil or redeemer will cheat him.
G D Bm A G
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold
G G A
Six deep in the grave.


[Solo]

D A Bm G D A G A


[Bridge]

G D G A
His oldest pain and fear in life, there'll not be time
(Something is out of reach, something he wanted)

G D G A
His oldest pain and fear in life, there'll not be time, oh no
(Something is out of reach, he's being taunted)

G D G
Hey, hey
(Something is out of reach)

D A/C# Bm A G A
That he can't beg or steal... Nor can he buy


[Verse 3]

D A Bm G
A lie to say "O my forest has trees that block the sun
D A G A
And when I cut them down I don't answer to anyone."


[Chorus and Ending]

G D G G A
No, no, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray.
G D G
No devil or redeemer will cheat him.
G D Bm A
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold.

G D G G A G D G G D
La la la la la...

Bm A G G G A D
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely man
