Intro:

D
 
 
Verse 1:
D                                         A
Blue denim and black gold was his work uniform
A
The dirt 'neath his nails
         G               D
Was hard-earned and well-worn
                                       A
He meant every minute, he labored with pride
                           G           D
He knew his old man wasn't old when he died
 
 
Verse 2:
D                                          A
Each day at the rig, he's the first one to show
                                  G           D
At the end of the shift, he's the last one to go
                                        A
No one but the Derricks outworked him because
                                  G            D
Blue denim and black gold was the shade of his blood

Bridge:
   A                       G          D
He saved every dime, but nobody would know
    A                          G             D
His pockets were lined, but he didn't let it show
                                G         D
He's just biding his time for a woman who knows
          A                       G               D
The rough diamond behind his blue denim and black gold
 
 
Verse 3:
D                                        A
One night, as he traveled from work into town
                                 G           D
A ruby-haired damsel in distress flagged him down
                                            A
Him changing her tire sparked a fire by the road
                               G               D
She liked what she saw in blue denim and black gold
 
 
Bridge:
      A                       G            D
Their love was a rose in full bloom by the spring
    A                         G          D
And she didn't know till that five-carat ring
                             G        D
That she would be married to riches untold
         A                        G               D
And have silk lace and satin blue denim and black gold
 
 
[Instrumental Break]

Verse 4:
D                                         A
Blue denim and black gold was his work uniform
                                G            D
He cashed in his chips for that angel on his arm
                                       A
He tinkers on engines and she does the clothes
                            G               D
Lays out for tomorrow, blue denim and black gold
