These are the chord I use. not too different but they add a little poignancy. Kingston Trio South Coast Lyrics: Am F6 Am Chorus: South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely. F G Am You may win at the game at Jolon, But the lion F Am E7 still rules the barranca, and a man there is Am always alone. Am Dm Am My name is Juan Hano de Castro. The son of a F G Am Spanish grandee, But I won my wife in a card game, F G to Hell with the lords o'er the Sea. I picked up the ace. I had won her! My heart, which was down at my feet Jumped up to my throat in a hurry- Like a warm summers' day, she was sweet. (Chorus) Her arms had to tighten around me as we rode up the hills from the South. Not a word did I hear from her that day- or a kiss from her pretty red mouth. We came to my cabin at twilight. The stars twinkled out on the coast. She soon loved the valley- the orchard- but I knew that she loved me the most. (Chorus) Then I got hurt in a landslide with crushed hip and twice-broken bone. She saddled our pony like lightning- rode off in the night, all alone. The lion screamed in the barranca; the pony fell back on the slide. My young wife lay dead in the moonlight. My heart died that night with my bride.
