F#m  A  F#m  A  F#m

[Verse]
                             A
There was a king who built a ship
                 F#m
And sailed away
                                 A
To look for gold in the hills of Scone
E         A
Far away

[Verse]
                              E
The only gold in the hills of Scone
                     F#m
Is gold you'll never own
                             E
It belongs to the giant, Longbone
        A
Far away..

[Chorus]
                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known
                                  D      F#m   A   F#m
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone

[Verse]
                                   A
His teeth are sharp, his claws are long
             F#m
So they say
                              A
His eyes are like a fire that burns
E         A
Far away

[Verse]
                           E
We will go to the hills of Scone
                          F#m
We'll find the giant, Longbone
                    E
We'll turn him into stone
        A
Far away..

[Chorus]
                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known
                                  D
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone
    A
The only gold I've ever known
  B                        D
Belonged to the giant, Longbone

[Instrumental]
A   D   A   D   A   D   F#m

[Verse]
                                 A
Through the rain and through the snow
                F#m
We sailed away
                             A
To the land where only fools go
E         A
Far away

[Verse]
                    E
We stepped onto the shore
                      F#m
And then we heard him roar
F#m
He must have seen us
                              A
We tried to hide, we tried to run
          F#m
Run away
                                 A
He killed the crew, he threw the boat
E         A
Far away

[Verse]
                           E
And then he said, "We are alone
                    F#m
I am the giant, Longbone
                          E
You should have stayed at home
        A
Far away.."

[Chorus]
                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known
                                  D     E  A
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone

[Chorus]
                        D      E  A
The only gold I've ever known
                                  D     E  A
It all belonged to the giant, Longbone
