Verse 1
(D major) Oh my,
(G major) my, my- (C major)
In a dusty caravan
Was a girl (A major) with a golden tan
And she (F major) asked me if I was
(G major) headed to the (C major) east (G major)
I politely (C major) stepped a side and
said I (A major) did not need a ride
That I'd (F major) rather take my
(G major) chances with the heat (C major)
Well, when she turned (E major) and walked away
I saw (A major) my big mis (A minor) take
There were (F major) jewels on her
body oh- so- (G major) rare
Had it been (C major) another day I just
(A major) might have rode away
With that wo (F major) man riding off (G major)
to God- knows- (C major) where (G major)
So the (C major) years they came and went
And found me (A major) living in a tent
(F major) Far above a (G major) little marble stream (C major) (G major)
And it (C major) may have been the light
that shone (A major) out through the night
That attrac (F major) ted the hand
(G major) scratching on my screen (C major)
When I cau (E major) tiously looked
out through the night
(A minor) There was no doubt
That the (F major) owner of that hand was that (G major) girl
So I bid (C major) her do come in
And I'll (A minor) open (A major) up a tin
If you'll (F major) tell me 'bout your trip (G major)
around the (C major) world (G major)
Well, she (C major) said,"If you think back
To the first (A major) time that we passed
I'm (F major) sure you'll picture (G major) me
in all my (C major) jewels (F major)
(G major) It was shortly (C major) after then that
I (A major) ran into another man
And I (F major) asked him the same
(G major) question I asked (C major) you
But now (E major) he he didn't refuse
And he (A major) took off (A minor) of both his shoes
And (F major) climbed aboard mu
east- bound cara (G major) van
In the twinkling (C major) of the night
He knocked (A major) me off the side
And (F major) left me there for dead (G major) upon the (C major) sand
And I thought I was done
(G major) Lying (A major) naked in the sun
When (F major) much to my surprise, (G major)
who should pass?
But this (C major) old friend of yours
He said he knew (A major) you from the wars
And I (F major) told him that I thought (G major)
you'd headed west (C major)
Well, he said (E major) he should have known
'Cause you (A major) like to be alone (A minor)
(D minor) And (F major) that's the time I
knew you were my one (G major)
So I (C major) asked him for a ride
Just to get (A major) here by your side
And (F major) stay here above this stream
(G major) Out of the sun (C major) " (G major)
(C major) Well, we sat quite for a while
And I (A major) began to smile
(F major) Well it's strange (G major) but I don't care (C major) (G major)
And some (C major) nights when I'm at rest
I wonder (A major) if I'd said, "yes"
Would she (F major) have come to me
(G major) from God (D major) knows where (C major) (F major)
(C major) Or would (E major) I have been the one to
leave her (A major) lying in (A minor) the sun
(F major) And then ended up with only
precious stone (G major) s
Or would (C major) the woman in my arms
be (A minor) giv ing me (A major) her charms
If the (F major) an swer (C major) that I gave (G major) her
