[Verse 1]
[Am]Lady: Hallo
Kidnapper:
Lady we've just kidnapped
your husband
Have $800,000 ready by tomorrow night
And lady no police
Or you'll never see your husband
alive again

[Verse 2]
[Am]Lady: Hallo
I remember standing there so petrified
My hand [D]frozen [F]to the [Am]phone
As a stranger's words
that caught in my ears
[D]And chilled me [F]to the [Am]bone
Some dark [F]tragedy [C]had[Bm] come
right [Bbdim]home to me[Am]
They'd kidnapped [F]my [C]man and
his [Bm]life was in their hands
[E]

He was a [Am]hostage, a [G]hostage
His [F]life was [Em]at th[Am]e me[D]rcy
[C]of [Am]their [B]hand[E]s
He was a [Am]hostage, a [G]hostage
His [F]life de[Em]pendi[D]ng on
their [C]gold [B]demand[Bdim]s

Well I couldn't raise that kinda money fast
So I [D]was left no [F]other [Am]choice
So I called the police and
they came in fast
[D]Saying "leave it [F]up to [Am]us
Just do [F]as [C]they told

We'll watch [F]over [C]you
And we'll [Bm]have your husband back too"
