Partners
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G D7 G Em7
Two partners went in search of gold
G D7 G Em
As friendly as could be
G D7 G Em7
One was young and one was old
G D7 G Em
And the gay young fool was me
D7 G
Since neither one could write his name
Am D7
We swore upon our souls
G D7 Em7 C
To share the wealth and then shook hands
C D7 G
The hands that dug for gold. (oh, partners)
[Verse 2]
G D7 G Em7
The summer days were gone at last
G D7 G Em
And winter nights grew cold
G D7 G Em7
The snow had trapped us in the pass
G D7 G Em
When we finally found the gold
D7 G
We took our fortune to the shack
Am D7
To wait the winter through
G D7 Em7 C
But the food ran low so I killed my friend
C D7 G
What else was there to do? (oh, partners)
[Verse 3]
G D7 G Em7
I threw his body just outside
G D7 G Em
Into the bitter cold
G D7 G Em7
Somehow I had to stay alive
G D7 G Em
I now had all the gold
D7 G
But the howling wind just seemed to say
Am D7
You have killed a man
G D7 Em7 C
And you'll never get to spend the gold
C D7 G
With blood upon your hands. (oh, partners)
[Verse 4]
G D7 G Em7
The cabin's covered now with snow
G D7 G Em
And shelves of food are bare
G D7 G Em7
Satan's waitin' for me now
G D7 G Em
And I'm too cold to care
D7 G
Is that the devil at the door
Am D7
Coming for my soul
G D7 Em7 C
Or is it just the old man
C D7 G
A looking for his gold? (oh, partners)...
