                  Uranium Fever - Elton Britt
===================================================================
This is for Capo 3rd fret


Intro:
C G7 C C


Verse:
C
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
                    G7
Uranium ore's worth more than gold
C               F
Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep
     G7               C
I've got that bug and I can't sleep

Chorus:
 C                F               C
Uranium fever has done and got me down
 C               G7
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
       C
With a Geiger counter in my hand
      F                          G7
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
C        Am        G7              C
 Uranium fever has done and got me down




Verse 2:
C
Well I had talk with the AEC*
                                           G7
And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
        C                        F
And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
     G7                           C
So I straddled my Jeep and headed down the road
C
I reckon I drove about 100 miles
                      G7
Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
     C               F
When all of sudden I bounced to a stop
       G7                         C
At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top


Chorus


Verse 3:
       C
Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
                            G7
Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
  C                 F
A hunk of rock that would make it click
     G7                  C
Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick
       C
On the second day, I made the top
                                  G7
And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop
    C                    F
The only clickin' that I heard that day
        G7                        C
Was the bones in my back that had gone astray


Refrain


Verse 4:
          C
Well, you pack up your things

You head out again
                             G7
Into some unknown spot where nobody's been
    C                         F
You reach the spot where your fortune lies....
    G7                       C                   C
You find it's been staked by 17 other guys....
      C
Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit
                              G7
That bug's done caught me and I've been bit
          C                    F
So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand
          G7                    C
I'll keep right on stakin' that government land


Chorus
