Last thing I remember is the freezing cold
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 /F#5 /G5  A5 
Water reaching up just to swallow me whole
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
Ice in the rigging and the howling wind
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 /F#5 /G5 A5 
Shock to my body as we tumbled in
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
My brothers and the others are lost at sea
 B5 A5 
I alone am returned to tell thee
 G5 D5 
Hidden in ice for a century
 G5 D5 
To walk the world again
 E5 E5 A5 A5 
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
 G5 A5 G7M, D5 G5 D5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
Next words that were spoken to me
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 /F#5 /G5 A5 
Nurse asked me what my name might be
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
She was all in white at the foot of my bed
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 /F#5 /G5  A5 
I said angel of mercy I'm alive or am I dead
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
My name is William James McPhee
 B5 A5 
I was born in 1843
 G5 D5 
Raised in Liverpool by the sea
 G5 D5 
But that ain't who I am
 E5 E5 A5 A5 
Lord have mercy I'm the frozen man
 G5 D5 
It took a lot of money to start my heart
 G5 E5 C5 F5 
To peg my leg and to buy my eye
 G5 E5 F5 D5 
The newspapers call me state of the art
  G5 E5 C5 F5 
And the children, when they see me, cry
 G5 E5 F5 D5 
I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 /F#5 /G5  A5 
See what kind of tombstone I might have
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
I saw my wife and my daughter and it seemed so strange
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 F#5 /G5 A5 
Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
See here, when I die make sure I'm gone
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 /F#5 /G5 A5 
Don't leave 'em nothing to work on
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
You can raise your arm , you can wiggle your hand
 D5 G5 D5 , E5 /F#5 /G5 A5 
And you can wave good-bye to the frozen man
 D5 G5 , E5 D5 A5 D5 
I know what it means to freeze to death
 B5 A5 
To lose a little life with every breath
 G5 D5 
To say good-bye to life on earth
 G5 D5 
To come around again
 E5 E5 A5 A5 
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
 G5 D5 D5 D5 G5 D5 
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
 G5 D5

The rhythms on this one are pretty tricky; he starts off the beat on a lot of 
the lyrics.
