Chords with lyrics
C majorC G+G
Ten thousand feet above them deep dark waters
C majorC E minorEm
There's a land like I ain't never seen
C majorC G+G
There's silver and gold midst a wild rose garden
C majorC G+G
Shining on the hillside for me
C majorC G+G
I set out from Eastern Kentucky
C majorC E minorEm
Said farewell to family and home
C majorC G+G
Then I headed west to seek my fortune,
C majorC G+G
Figured I could make it alone
CHORUS E minorEm G+G
But there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
C majorC E minorEm
There ain't no sunshine and there ain't no rain
C majorC G+G
Only darkness, toils and troubles
D MajorD C majorC
Steal my life's blood down in this vein
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Steal my life's blood vein by vein
C majorC G+G
I fell in with a stranger in Kansas City
C majorC E minorEm
He said "Son, now I'm a Union man.
C majorC G+G
I've a fine team of mules and rations for the winter;
C majorC G+G
Traveler, I sure could use a hand."
C majorC G+G
When springtime broke on that western prairie
C majorC E minorEm
To them red rock hills I was bound
C majorC G+G
Now I'm digging for gold in an old rock garden
C majorC G+G
And nothing of worth I've found
CHORUS E minorEm G+G
But there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
C majorC E minorEm
There ain't no sunshine and there ain't no rain
C majorC G+G
Only darkness, toils and troubles
D MajorD C majorC
Steal my life's blood down in this vein
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Steal my life's blood vein by vein
BRIDGE
C majorC G+G
Come on now baby can you save my soul
C majorC G+G
Traveled all across the country got to find that gold
C majorC G+G
One more shot of whiskey 'fore I ask your man
C majorC G+G
For sixty-four dollars, got a brand new plan
C majorC G+G
Me and ol? Frisco gonna climb up over town
C majorC G+G
Dig a hole in the mountain, we ain't coming down
C majorC G+G
Take a look around and see what we can find,
C majorC G+G
I hope you like silver - we've got a brand new mine....
CHORUS E minorEm G+G
Well there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
C majorC E minorEm
There ain't no sunshine and I don't care
C majorC G+G
Goodbye darkness, so long troubles,
D MajorD C majorC
One hundred thousand will buy my share,
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
