Uranium Fever - Elton Britt
This is for Capo 3rd fret
Intro:
C majorC G7G7 C majorC C majorC
Verse:
C majorC
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
G7G7
Uranium ore's worth more than gold
C majorC FF
Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep
G7G7 C majorC
I've got that bug and I can't sleep
Chorus:
C majorC FF C majorC
Uranium fever has done and got me down
C majorC G7G7
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
C majorC
With a Geiger counter in my hand
FF G7G7
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
C majorC A minorAm G7G7 C majorC
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Verse 2:
C majorC
Well I had talk with the AEC*
G7G7
And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
C majorC FF
And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
G7G7 C majorC
So I straddled my Jeep and headed down the road
C majorC
I reckon I drove about 100 miles
G7G7
Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
C majorC FF
When all of sudden I bounced to a stop
G7G7 C majorC
At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top
Chorus
Verse 3:
C majorC
Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
G7G7
Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
C majorC FF
A augmentedA hunk of rock that would make it click
G7G7 C majorC
Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick
C majorC
On the second day, I made the top
G7G7
And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop
C majorC FF
The only clickin' that I heard that day
G7G7 C majorC
Was the bones in my back that had gone astray
Refrain
Verse 4:
C majorC
Well, you pack up your things
You head out again
G7G7
Into some unknown spot where nobody's been
C majorC FF
You reach the spot where your fortune lies....
G7G7 C majorC C majorC
You find it's been staked by 17 other guys....
C majorC
Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit
G7G7
That bug's done caught me and I've been bit
C majorC FF
So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand
G7G7 C majorC
I'll keep right on stakin' that government land
Chorus
