[Verse 1]
Bm D Bm
Come listen and I’ll tell a tale of hardy canyoneers
D G D
That breed of men the river rats who live without the fears
G D G D
Of common ordinary men whose worries sure are small
Bm D Bm
Compared to those who flirt with death within that high grey wall
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
What’s in a man to make him thirst for the kind of life he knows is cursed?
D G Bm D
He’ll die a lonely river rat, foolhardy canyoneer
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Bm D Bm
Do you ever wonder what you’d do when all the chips were down
D G D
If you doubt you’d do what a man would do when danger comes around
G D G D
Then take the test to prove the case to see if courage calls
Bm D Bm
As waves leap thirty feet or more on the trip through Lava Falls
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
What’s in a man to make him thirst for the kind of life he knows is cursed?
D G Bm D
He’ll die a lonely river rat, foolhardy canyoneer

[Verse 3]
Bm D Bm
At night at rest on a rocky beach he hears a hairy sigh
D G D
Of the lonely phantom of the gorge whose mournful voices cry
G D G D
Although we ran the rapids wild and with our lives did pay
Bm D Bm
We welcome you, you canyoneers, who come this dismal way
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
What’s in a man to make him thirst for the kind of life he knows is cursed?
D G Bm D
He’ll die a lonely river rat, foolhardy canyoneer
