[Intro] C  C7M

[Primeira Parte]

        C
On the first day of winter
      C7M
I was set to leave
         Dm7                          C/G
With the lost awe of true love in my eye
    C              C7M
The wild frontier outlaws and thieves
   Dm7                        C
To find me A mountain in the sky

[Refrão]

         Fm      Fm6  Fm7M
There's gold In them hills
    C        C9     C
I heard the man    cry
         Fm      Fm6   Fm7M
There's gold In them hills
         C    C9  C
For the taking
        Fm  Fm6  Fm7M
It's a one-way ticket down
    C   C9   C
A river of lies
         Fm      Fm6  Fm7M
There's gold In them hills
        C      C9  C
If you make it

[Segunda Parte]

On the last day of spring I first saw the sea

A poor boy with good luck on my side

Ready for riches I rolled up my sleeve

And took my first step Down my life

C7      F7   Bb7       Eb
Had my wallet same old pocket
C7       F7     Bb7        Eb
Sixteen dollars, brand new shoes
C7     F7      Bb7         Eb
Empty bottles, sad turned daughters
C7        F7    Bb7     Eb  F  Bb
What's a country boy to do

G                    D/F#
Tell dear mother that I miss her
      F
But things are different now
         C/E
There's nothing I can do
      Eb
Your dark haired son is now long gone
F  G                          D
  Remember me when you stare At the moon

[Terceira Parte]

I've broken my heart diamonds and gold

Through scandal, through madness, through cold

All I have left is this grey in my beard

This mountain and the stories that I've told
