C        G           Am  Em
F        G           C   G

Verse 1:
C        G          Am        Em
Shotover River, the gold lies waiting
     F               G          C   G
It's years since the color I've seen
         C         G          Am        Em
And it's no use in sitting or Lady Luck blaming
     F           G              C
I'll pack up and make the break clean

Chorus:
G                         C       G
Farewell to the gold that never I found
C              C/B          Am7             G
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere are bound
         C         G             Am           Em
For it's only when dreaming that I'll see you gleaming
     F           G         C
Down in the dark deep underground

Verse 2:
     C          G             Am          Em
It's nearly two years since I left my own mother
    F              G           C   G
For excitement and gold by the pound
     C            G           Am     Em
With Jimmy the prospector, Oh he was another
           F        G             C
And to the hills of Otago we were bound

Chorus:
G                         C       G
Farewell to the gold that never I found,
C              C/B          Am7           G
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere are bound
         C         G             Am           Em
For it's only when dreaming that I'll see you gleaming
     F           G         C
Down in the dark deep underground

{Verse 3]
        C             G           Am         Em
Well we worked the Cardrona's dry valley all over
F         G            C  G
Old Jimmy Williams and me
          C            G            Am      Em
They were panning good dirt down on winding Shotover
      F           G             C
So we headed down there just to see

Chorus:
G                         C       G
Farewell to the gold that never I found,
C              C/B          Am7           G
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere are bound
         C         G             Am           Em
For it's only when dreaming that I'll see you gleaming
     F           G         C
Down in the dark deep underground

{Verse 4]
   C              G           Am        Em
We sluiced and we cradled for day after day
       F       G            C   G
Barely making enough to get by
           C        G                 Am    Em
And then a terrible flood washed poor Jimmy away
       F          G       C
During six stormy days in July

Chorus:
G                         C       G
Farewell to the gold that never I found,
C              C/B          Am7           G
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere are bound
         C         G             Am           Em
For it's only when dreaming that I'll see you gleaming
     F           G         C
Down in the dark deep underground.

Chorus:
G                         C       G
Farewell to the gold that never I found,
C              C/B          Am7           G
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere are bound
         C         G             Am           Em
For it's only when dreaming that I'll see you gleaming
     F           G         C
Down in the dark deep underground.
     F           G         C
Down in the dark deep underground.
