Gold And Roses chords by The Black Lillies

C                             G
Ten thousand feet above them deep dark waters
          C                 Em
There's a land like I ain't never seen
        C                       G
There's silver and gold midst a wild rose garden
C                           G
Shining on the hillside for me

C              G
I set out from Eastern Kentucky
     C                      Em
Said farewell to family and home
     C                G
Then I headed west to seek my fortune,
C                       G
Figured I could make it alone

CHORUS             Em                      G
But there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
               C                           Em
There ain't no sunshine and there ain't no rain
     C                   G
Only darkness, toils and troubles
         D                         C
Steal my life's blood down in this vein
         Em          D        G
Steal my life's blood vein by vein

C                            G
I fell in with a stranger in Kansas City
        C                     Em
He said "Son, now I'm a Union man.
       C                      G
I've a fine team of mules and rations for the winter;
C                            G
Traveler, I sure could use a hand."

C                             G
When springtime broke on that western prairie
        C                    Em
To them red rock hills I was bound
        C                      G
Now I'm digging for gold in an old rock garden
    C                     G
And nothing of worth I've found

CHORUS             Em                      G
But there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
               C                           Em
There ain't no sunshine and there ain't no rain
     C                   G
Only darkness, toils and troubles
         D                         C
Steal my life's blood down in this vein
         Em          D        G
Steal my life's blood vein by vein

BRIDGE
C                        G
Come on now baby can you save my soul
         C                             G
Traveled all across the country got to find that gold
C                                G
One more shot of whiskey 'fore I ask your man
    C                         G
For sixty-four dollars, got a brand new plan
C                       G
Me and ol? Frisco gonna climb up over town
      C                              G
Dig a hole in the mountain, we ain't coming down
C                      G
Take a look around and see what we can find,
C                                    G
I hope you like silver - we've got a brand new mine....

CHORUS              Em                      G
Well there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
               C                    Em
There ain't no sunshine and I don't care
        C                 G
Goodbye darkness, so long troubles,
            D                    C
One hundred thousand will buy my share,
            Em           D       G
