Well they (Gm Gm)call me William The (Gm Gm)Pleaser 
I sold (Gm Gm)opium, fireworks and (D D)lead
Now I'm tel(Gm Gm)ling my troubles to st(Cm Cm)rangers
When the (Gm Gm)shadows get (D D)long I'll be (Gm Gm)dead

Now her (Gm Gm)hair was as black as a bucket of (Gm Gm)tar
Skin was as (Gm Gm)white as a cuttlefish b(D D)one
I left Te(Gm Gm)xas to follow Lu(Cm Cm)cinda
Now I'll (Gm Gm)never see hea(D D)ven or (Gm Gm)home

I made a (Gm Gm)wish on silver of moon(Gm Gm)light
A A sly (Gm Gm)grin and a bowl full of (D D)stars
Like a (Gm Gm)kid who captures a fire(Cm Cm)fly
And leaves it (Gm Gm)only to (D D)die in the (Gm Gm) jar

As I (Gm Gm)kick at the clouds at my ha(Gm Gm)nging
As Is (Gm Gm)wing out over the (D D)crowd
I will (Gm Gm)search every face for Lu(Cm Cm)cinda's
And she will (Gm Gm)go off with (D D)me down to (Gm Gm)hell

I (Gm Gm)th ought I'd broke loose of Lu(Gm Gm)cinda
The (Gm Gm)rain returned and so did the (D D)wind
I cast this bu(Gm Gm)rden on the God that's with in (Cm Cm)me
I will (Gm Gm)leave this old (D D)world and go (Gm Gm)free

The devil (D D)dances inside empty (Gm Gm)pockets
But she (D D)did'nt want money or (Gm Gm)pearls
No, that (D D)wasn't enough for (Gm Gm)Lucinda
She (Amaj Amaj)w asn't that kind of (D D)girl

Now I've (Gm Gm)fallen from grace for (Gm Gm)Lucinda
Whoever (Gm Gm)thought that hell would be so (D D)cold
I did (Gm Gm)well for an old tin can (Cm Cm)sailor
But she (Gm Gm)wanted the (D D)bell in my (Gm Gm)soul

I've (Gm Gm)spoken to God on the (Gm Gm)mountain
And I've (Gm Gm)swam in the Irish (D D)sea
I ate (Gm Gm)fire and drank from the (Cm Cm)Ganges
And I'll (Gm Gm)beg there for (D D)mercy for (Gm Gm)me

I (Gm Gm)thought I'd broke loose of (Gm Gm)Lucinda
The rain (Gm Gm)returned and so did the (D D)wind
I was (Gm Gm)standing outside the (Cm Cm)Whitehorse
Oh but (Gm Gm)I was (D D)afraid to go (Gm Gm)in

I heard some(Gm Gm)o ne pull the (Gm Gm)trigger
Her breasts (Gm Gm)heaved in the moonlight a(D D)gain
There was a (Gm Gm)smear of gold in the win(Cm Cm)dow
And then (Gm Gm)I was the je (D D)wel of her (Gm Gm)s in

They (Gm Gm)call me William The (Gm Gm)Pleaser
I sold (Gm Gm)opium, fireworks and (D D)lead
Now I'm (Gm Gm)telling my troubles to (Cm Cm)strangers
When the (Gm Gm)shadows get (D D)long I'll be (Gm Gm)dead

Now her (Gm Gm)hair was as black as a bucket of (Gm Gm)tar
Skin was as (Gm Gm)white as a cuttlefish (D D)bone
I left (Gm Gm)Texas to follow (Cm Cm)Lucinda
Now I'll (Gm Gm)never see (D D)heaven or (Gm Gm)home
No I'll (Gm Gm)never see (D D)heaven or (Gm Gm)home
No I'll (Gm Gm)never see (D D)heaven or (Gm Gm)home
