James Taylor – The Frozen Man (Guitar)

D            G               D       Em  Asus A
Last thing I remember is the freezing cold

D              G          Em         D    A
Water reaching up just to swallow me whole

D          G               D    Em  Asus   A
Ice in the rigging and the howling wind

D           G           Em     D    A
Shock to my body as we tumbled in

   Bm                                A
My brothers and the others are lost at sea

G            D
I alone have returned to tell thee

G                   D
Hidden in ice for a century

   E               A
To walk the world again

G           Asus        A    D
Lord have mercy on the frozen man

D     G                 D      Em   Asus A
Next words that were spoken to me

D       G               Em        D    A
Nurse asked me what my name might be

D               G            D         Em   A
She was all in white at the foot of my bed

D               G         Em       D      Asus  A
I said angel of mercy I'm alive or am I dead

Bm                 A
My name is William James McPhee

      G                 D
I was born in eighteen forty-three

G                   D
Raised in Liverpool by the sea

  E               A
But that ain't who I am

G          Asus         A     D
Lord have mercy on the frozen man

   G             Em       Am       Fmaj7
It took a lot of money to start my heart

   G      Em      A      D
To peg my leg and buy my eye

    G       Em         Am           Fmaj7
The newspapers call me state of the art

         G                   Em     Am
And the children, when they see me, cry

  D                   G                  D       Em     Asus A
I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave

D                 G        Em            Asus   A
See what kind of tombstone I might have

         D           G                      D    Em  Asus  A
I saw my wife and my daughter and it seemed so strange

D            G          Em      D           Asus    A
Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age

           D                   G     D    Em    Asus A
See here, when I die make sure I'm gone

D                G         Em        D    A
Don't leave em’ nothing to work on

        D          G            D           Em    Asus  A
You can raise your arm, you can wiggle your hand

            D         G                 Em       D
And you can wave good-bye to the frozen man

  Bm                    A
I know what it means to freeze to death

   G                       D
To lose a little life with every breath

   G               D
To say good-bye to life on earth

   E            A
To come around again

G          Asus        A       D
Lord have mercy on the frozen man

G          Asus        A       D
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
