[B] A burning hot [C#] sun, a cry for water, [F#] black wings [G#] circle the sky
[C#] [F#] Stumbling and [C#] falling, somebody's [F#] calling, you're lost [G#] on the desert, [C#] you die
I had to give up and [F#] they took me to [C#] jail, but I hid all the [G#] money I got
[F#] Way out on the [C#] desert where no [G#] one could get it, and I left them or [C#] get the spot
[F#] Then I got away [C#] and ran for the [F#] desert, the devil had [G#] taken control
[C#] I needed water, but he said [D#m] I'd make it, here the money is [G] a big [C#] water hole
[F#] A burning hot sun, [C#] a cry for water, [F#] black wings circle [G#] the sky
[C#] [F#] Stumbling and falling, [C#] somebody's calling, [F#] you're [C#] lost on the desert, you die
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [G#] [C#]
Just up [Gm] ahead is [F#] where I [C#] left my mark, or it may be to the left [G#] or the right
[D#] I've [F#] been running all day and [C#] they'll catch [G#] up tomorrow, I've gotta [C#] find it tonight
[F#] Then up jumped the devil [C#] and ran away laughing, [F#m] he drank all the water [G#] holes dry
[C#] He [F#] moved my mark [C#] till I'm running in circles, [F#] and [G#] lost on the desert, [C#] you die
[F#] A burning hot sun, [C#] a cry for water, [F#] black wings circle [G#] the sky
[C#] [F#] Stumbling and falling, [C#]
somebody's calling, [F#] you're lost [D#] on the desert, [C#] you die
[F#] Lost on the desert, you [C#] die
Lost on the desert, you die
Lost [F#] on the desert, [C#] you die
