Going For The Gold Chords by Don Mclean

Going For The Gold chords by Don Mclean

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
Dm
I chased a lot of rainbows
Bb
Down a lot of roads
Gm                    A
Thinking love was something
                Dm
To be bought or sold


Verse 2:
      Bb      C       F
But I finally found a treasure
         Bb                 Gm
And it's right here in your eyes
       Dm                   Bb
Now my golden dreams are of golden rings
         F              A
Precious love without a price
🎸

Chorus:
                  Dm
I'm going for the gold
        C
For the heart that's in you
                  Bb
I'm going for the love
       Gm           A
That I know will be true
         Dm
I've had enough
         C
Of those one night stands
                  Bb               C       F     A
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band


Verse 3:
Dm
I followed those illusions
Bb
That sparkled in the night
Gm                 A
But they were fantasies
                        Dm
That disappeared in the light


Verse 4:
    Bb       C          F
The midnight fires that burned so bright
        Bb           Gm
Turn to ashes in the dawn
         Dm                Bb
I didn't realize how empty I was inside
F               A
Until you came along


Chorus:
                  Dm
I'm going for the gold
        C
For the heart that's in you
                  Bb
I'm going for the love
       Gm           A
That I know will be true
         Dm
I've had enough
         C
Of those one night stands
                  Bb               C       F
I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band

I'm going for the love
       Gm           A
That I know will be true
         Dm
I've had enough
         C

I'm going for the gold that's in a wedding band
