Verse 1:

	Em	Am7
F	orty thousand headmen couldn't m	ake me change my mind

	Bm7	Am7
If I	had to take the choice between the d	eafman and the blind

	Bm7	Am7
I k	now just where my feet should go and t	hat's enough for me

	Bm7	Am7	/G	Em
I t	urned around and knocked them down and w	alked a	cross the	sea

(1:) Em Em6/9 Em Em6/9

Verse 2:

Hadn't travelled very far when suddenly I saw

Three small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore

So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit

And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot

Chorus 1:

	E7	A7
F	illing up my pockets even s	tuffed it up my nose

	E7	A7
I	must have weighed a hundre	d tons between my head and toes

	E7	A7
I	ventured forth before the	dawn had time to change it's mind

	E7	A7	/G	Em
And s	oaring high above the clouds I f	ound a g	olden s	hrine

Verse 3:

Laying down my treasure before the iron gate

Quickly rang the bell, hoped I hadn't come too late

But someone came along and told me not to waste my time

And when I asked him who he was he said "just look behind"

Chorus 2:

So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirt

Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt

But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload

And by the time they'd done I was heading down the road

Coda:

	Em
Heading down the	road

Forty thousand headmen on my trail

Rambling and rambling

Rambling and rambling...

With forty thousand headmen on my trail

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
