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 

[Chorus]
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 

[Chorus]
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 

[Chorus]
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
