   "There must be some kind of way out of here,"  said the joker to the thief 
B C#m                 B     A B C#m        B       F#m

B C#m        B         A         B C#m       B     A 
     Businessmen, they drink my wine,   plowmen dig my earth 
B C#m          B   A          B C#m      B        A

B C#m          B        A             B C#m          B       A

B C#m              B   A         B C#m        B        F#m 
    While all the women came and went,  barefoot servants, too, well 
B C#m     B           A     B C#m     B       A 
   Outside in the cold distance,    a wildcat did growl 
B C#m           B            A B         C#m    B     A 
     Two riders were approaching,   and the wind began to howl, hey
