Last thing I remember is the freezing cold D G D, Em /F# /G  Asus

My brothers and the others are lost at sea Bm A 
I alone am returned to tell thee G D 
Hidden in ice for a century G D 
To walk the world again E7sus E7 A7sus A7 
Lord have mercy on the frozen man Gmaj7 A Gmaj7, D G D, Em D A D

I said angel of mercy I'm alive or am I dead D G, Em D A D 
My name is William James McPhee Bm A 
I was born in 1843 G D 
Raised in Liverpool by the sea G D 
But that ain't who I am E7sus E7 A7sus A7 
Lord have mercy I'm the frozen man Gmaj7 D 
 
It took a lot of money to start my heart G Em C F 
To peg my leg and to buy my eye G Em F D 
The newspapers call me state of the art  G Em C F 
And the children, when they see me, cry G Em F D 
 
I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave D G D, Em /F# /G  Asus

See here, when I die make sure I'm gone D G D, Em /F# /G Asus 
Don't leave 'em nothing to work on D G, Em D A D 
You can raise your arm, you can wiggle your hand D G D, Em /F# /G Asus 
And you can wave good-bye to the frozen man D G, Em D A D 
I know what it means to freeze to death Bm A 
To lose a little life with every breath G D 
To say good-bye to life on earth G D 
To come around again E7sus E7 A7sus A7 
Lord have mercy on the frozen man Gmaj7 D D D G D 
Lord have mercy on the frozen man Gmaj7 D
