Introduction: G C D D (Repeat four chords four times.)
Well nothin' new has passed this way in a long time
Maybe nothin's ever gonna come
And nothin' seems to grow outside my window
I think I'd better go and get me some
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
That's makin' people nervous
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
Start prayin' God preserve us
I can't believe how long I've stayed
Two more days till I get paid
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin'
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting
Hey ye - ah Patiently waitin'
Well I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show
And I've had good times tearing up the town
But I've spent cold nights waitin' out front of the movie show
Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
That's makin' people nervous
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
Start prayin' God preserve us
I can't believe how long I've stayed
Two more days till I get paid
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin'
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin'
Intrumental: G C D D (Repeat four chords six times.)
Some folks never get their share of the sweet life
Some just come around a little late
Oh, and I got this feeling sitting at a stop light
Seems like good things only come to those who
Hit the road when they know what they want
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
That's makin' people nervous
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
Start prayin' God preserve us
I can't believe how long I've stayed
Two more days till I get paid
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin'
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin'
I'm done patiently waitin'
G C D D (Repeat four chords as desired and fade.)
