The Cannibal Hiking Disaster

  Am                           Dm
I took a trip with Jed my pal, went to France the mountain snow
G                              Am
There was sky the sun was low, I could feel the dark below
Am                                  Dm
Pitched the tent we took the rope, attached it to a friendly slope
G                              Am
There's no water there I hope, there's no water there I hope


Am                             Dm
Jed he fell he called my name, I just stand I don't again
G                             Am
See his face in my dream now, see his face as I looked down
   Am                                Dm
Oh where you are oh why'd' you call? My oh my I have to fall
G                               Am
Down the face to help with Jed, he was there no pulse he's dead


Am                              Dm
Oh what I do? I'm cold I'm wet I'm in the tent, I'm in the tent
G                              Am
How d'you stop from losing it, It was just an accident
Am                              Dm
Tried to hike and get some help ankles hurt like nothing else
G                             Am
Waiting for some help to come hoping that I'll see the sun


  Am                               Dm
I start to think I'm surely doomed got no water got no food
G                           Am
This for me must be the end maybe I should eat my friend
  Am                              Dm
I took a strip off of his thigh a muscley bit I start to fry
G                          Dm
In my Trangia from my pack suddenly I heard a gasp


Am                         Dm
Jed was up and on his feet I couldn't move I couldn't speak
G                               Am
He knows of what I tried to eat he was not dead he was asleep
   Am                                   Dm
How do you explain to your best pal that you've become a cannibal?
   G                              Am
We made it out all safe and sound three weeks later we were found


  Am                          Dm
I took a trip with Jed my pal went to France the mountain snow
G                             Am
There was sky the sun was low I could feel the dark below
