[Intro]

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

[Verse]

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

[Bridge]

   G             Em        C       A

It took a lot of money to start my heart

   G      Em      A      D

To peg my leg and buy my eye

    G       Em          C           A

The newspapers call me state of the art

         G                   Em     A

And the children, when they see me, cry

[Verse]

  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

[Outro]

           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
