Intro:

| E MajorE  | E MajorE  | E MajorE  | E MajorE  |


Verse 1:
    E MajorE             A augmentedA   E MajorE
I been swinging this hammer for a mighty long time
E MajorE             A augmentedA      E MajorE
What I wouldn't give for a nickel and a dime
   E MajorE                A augmentedA    E MajorE
I was up there in the hills where the colored bands run
E MajorE                 A augmentedA       E MajorE
Fanning 'cross the mountain and a-shining in the sun
 A augmentedA               D MajorD    A augmentedA
I came across a mountain, it was leaning tall
E MajorE             A augmentedA    E MajorE
One wrong look and she was bound to fall
   A augmentedA            D MajorD    A augmentedA
But I couldn't resist where my fortune lie
    B7B7
Now I'm bound to get rich if I keep from dyin'

Chorus:
    E MajorE
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
     A augmentedA
There's a little more gold left here today
E MajorE                       F#F#  BB
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E MajorE
Every time I take a little piece I know
  A augmentedA
I'm toeing the line with thе ol' pick hoe
  E MajorE          B7B7          E MajorE
And sooner or later this wholе thing is coming down


Post-Chorus:
  E MajorE
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
  A augmentedA
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
  E MajorE    B7B7    E MajorE
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Verse 2:
    E MajorE               A augmentedA     E MajorE
Well, I heard a little crack, heard a creak and moan
E MajorE              A augmentedA        E MajorE
Sounded like thunder and it shook me to the bone
E MajorE           A augmentedA    E MajorE
Just got a little bit more to go
E MajorE              A augmentedA      E MajorE
Ten thousand dollars and I'm headed back home
 A augmentedA             D MajorD   A augmentedA
I finally had my fill, I was on my way
     E MajorE               A augmentedA     E MajorE
And that mountain started falling as I ran and I prayed
A augmentedA              D MajorD  A augmentedA
Lord, if you let me make it out alive
      B7B7
I'll never chase another poke for my whole damn life


Chorus:
    E MajorE
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
     A augmentedA
There's a little more gold left here today
E MajorE                       F#F#  BB
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E MajorE
Every time I take a little piece I know
  A augmentedA
I'm toeing the line with thе ol' pick hoe
  E MajorE          B7B7          E MajorE
And sooner or later this wholе thing is coming down
    E MajorE
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
     A augmentedA
There's a little more gold left here today
E MajorE                       F#F#  BB
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E MajorE
Every time I take a little piece I know
  A augmentedA
I'm toeing the line with thе ol' pick hoe
  E MajorE          B7B7          E MajorE
And sooner or later this wholе thing is coming down


Post-Chorus:
  E MajorE
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
  A augmentedA
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
  E MajorE    B7B7    E MajorE
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
  E MajorE
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
  A augmentedA
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
  E MajorE    B7B7    E MajorE
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
