Verse 
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  

Verse 
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  


[Refrão]
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  

Verse 
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

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
