+ Show full styles

[VERSE 1] Three shadows falling Long across the sand, Three men following A map from a dead man's hand. The sun keeps burning, The horses know the way, Somewhere beneath them A fortune sleeps in clay. [PRE-CHORUS] No one asks forgiveness, No one turns around. Everybody hears it— Though gold makes no sound. [CHORUS] [Rich descending minor chords] Three in the sun, One in the ground, Heaven above us, Hell all around. Three in the sun, Waiting to see Which one is standing When three becomes— Two… One… [TWANG] [VERSE 2] White stones are turning, Names disappear, Ten thousand strangers Lie silently here. He runs through the crosses, Laughing at the sky, Gold is a beautiful reason For an ugly way to die. [PRE-CHORUS] Faster goes the heartbeat, Faster goes the ground. Everybody wants it— But gold makes no sound. [CHORUS] [Fuller arrangement — mariachi-style trumpets answer the melody] Three in the sun, One in the ground, Heaven above us, Hell all around. Three in the sun, Nothing is free, One for the money— And two for eternity. [Sweeping minor chord changes — drums building] Gold in the blood, Gold in the eye, Gold makes a saint Of the devil passing by. Round go the crosses, Round goes the sun, Round goes the chamber— And somebody runs. [Rich descending minor chords] Three in the sun, One in the ground, Heaven above us, Hell all around. THREE IN THE SUN, WAITING TO SEE, ONE FOR THE MONEY— AND NONE OF THEM FREE! [Male + female choir] AHHHHH—OOOOOOOH! AH-AH-AH-AHHHH! [Final descending minor chord sequence] Gold for the living, Gold for the dead, Gold for the devil Inside every head. [Massive choir] AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! [Trumpets + screaming guitar] [HARD STOP] [Wind] Gold makes no sound.
