[Bm] [Em] [Bm]
[D]
Last thing I [G] remember is the [Bm] freezing [E] cold [G] [D] Water [A] reaching [D] up as it [Gm] swallowed me [F#m] whole
[D]
Ice in the [G] rigging and [D] [E] howling [G] wind [D]
Shock [A] to my [D] body as we [G] tumbled in
[D] And [Bm] my brothers and the [D] others are lost at sea
[G] I [D] alone am returned to tell [G] thee Gidden in ice [D] for a century
[Bm] To [E] walk the [D] world again [Em] [F#m] [G] Lord have [D] mercy on the frozen man
[G] [D] Next [G] words that were [D] spoken indeed [G] [D] Nurse asked me what my name might be
She was all in white [G] at the [D] foot of my bed I said angel of mercy I'm [Gm] alive [D] around my
dead [Bm] Her name is [F#m] William James McPhee
[G] I was born in [D] [G] 1843 Raised in [D] Liverpool by the sea
[E] That ain't who [G] I [Em] am [D] [G] Lord have mercy on the [D] frozen man
[G] It took a lot of [C] money to [F] stop my heart To [G] [C] peg my leg and buy [D] my eye
[G] The [C] newspapers call me state of the art [F] And [C] the children when they see me [G] cry
[Am]
[Em] I thought it'd be nice just to visit my grave [G] [A] See [D] [A] what kind of [D] tombstone [G] I might [D] have
I saw my wife and my [G] daughter and it [D] seemed so [G] strange
[D]
Both of them dead and gone for an [G] extreme old [D] age
See here when I [G] die make [D] sure I'm gone Don't leave a nothing or a thong
You can raise your [G] arm You [D] can wiggle your [Gm] hand
Unlike [D] myself Then you can wave goodbye to the frozen man
I [Bm] know what it means to freeze [G] to death To lose a little [D] life with every [G] breath
To say [D] goodbye to life on earth To [E] come [D] around [Em] again
[D] [G] Lord [D] have mercy on the frozen [G] man [Bm] Lord [D] [G] [D] have mercy on the frozen man
