Introduction:  G   C   D   D (Repeat four chords four times.)

     G               C                    D
Well nothin' new has passed this way in a long time
G              C          D
Maybe nothin's ever gonna come
    G                C               D
And nothin' seems to grow outside my window
  G                C             D
I think I'd better go and get me some

                C               D    
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
       G               C
That's   makin' people nervous
                                D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
      G              C
Start prayin' God preserve us
  D
I can't believe how long I've stayed
D
Two more days till I get paid
         D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin'
C                 D
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting
G       C    D   D                    G    C    D    D
Hey     ye - ah  Patiently waitin'

     G                 C                    D
Well I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show
    G                   C              D
And I've had good times tearing up the town
         G                 C                        D
But I've spent cold nights waitin' out front of the movie show
              G                   C                D
Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down

                C               D    
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
       G               C
That's   makin' people nervous
                                D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
      G              C
Start prayin' God preserve us
  D
I can't believe how long I've stayed
D
Two more days till I get paid
         D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin'
C                 D
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin'

Intrumental:  G   C   D   D (Repeat four chords six times.)

G                C                      D
Some folks never get their share of the sweet life
G               C              D
Some just come around a little late
              G            C            D
Oh, and I got this feeling sitting at a stop light
           G                C
Seems like good things only come to those who
D
Hit the road when they know what they want

        C                       D    
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
       G               C
That's   makin' people nervous
                                D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill
      G              C
Start prayin' God preserve us
  D
I can't believe how long I've stayed
D
Two more days till I get paid
         D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin'
C                 D                   G   C
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin'
D           D
   I'm done patiently waitin'

G   C   D   D    (Repeat four chords as desired and fade.)
