Shotover River, the gold lies waiting

For excitement and gold by the pound

With Jimmy the prospector, Oh he was another

And to the hills of Otago we were bound

FF     G+G      C majorC G+G
Old Jimmy Williams and me
     C majorC      G+G      A minorAm   E minorEm
They were panning good dirt down on winding Shotover

So we headed down there just to see

Down in the dark deep underground

{Verse 4]
  C majorC       G+G      A minorAm    E minorEm
We sluiced and we cradled for day after day
    FF    G+G      C majorC  G+G
Barely making enough to get by
      C majorC    G+G         A minorAm  E minorEm
And then a terrible flood washed poor Jimmy away
    FF     G+G    C majorC
During six stormy days in July

For it's only when dreaming that I'll see you gleaming
   FF      G+G     C majorC
Down in the dark deep underground.

Down in the dark deep underground.
