June Carter Cash - Tall Lover Man guitar chord

TALL LOVER MAN - JUNE CARTER CASH - Capo 1

G D G

Two lovers stood in the white, white sand

G D G

A dark-eyed maiden and her tall lover man

G D G

With surprise and pain in her eyes

G D G

She clung to the hand of her tall lover man

D

They're lyin' to me, aren't they, Jim

D

She asked him

C D

That fair-haired girl with those blue, blue eyes

D

Is not your wife, is she Jim

C G

And with tears in her eyes and her sad, sad cries

G D G

She clung to the hand of her tall lover man

G D G

In the darkness, he let go of her hand

D G

I'm not to blame, it was a game

C G

For that fair-haired woman is my wife

G D G

And she will be all of my life

D

You're lyin' to me, aren't you Jim,

D

she asked him

C D

If lovin' me was a sport, then your life will be short

D

She said to him, Whoooo

C G

And the blade of the maid struck the man

G D G

As the blood flowed in the sand from her tall lover man

G D G

Two lovers lyin' in the white, white sand

G D G

I'll die with you, my tall lover man

G D G

And her blade found its mark in the dark

G D G

As she clung to the hand of her tall lover man

D

You're lyin' to me, aren't you, Jim,

D

she asked him

C D

That fair-haired girl with those blue blue eyes won't be your wife, my Jim

C G

And with tears in her eyes and sad, sad cries

G D G

She died in the sand by her tall lover man
