Intro: GDAmCGEmC
Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home
EmC
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
EmC
Six long months on a dust covered trail
EmC
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
Refrão:
CGD
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
AmCEm
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
EmC
We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
EmC
sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
EmC
gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
EmC
sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
Refrão:
CGD
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
AmCEm
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Solo:

EmC
Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
EmC
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
EmC
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
EmC
Or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns
Refrão:
CGD
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
AmCEm
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
EmC
Now my widow she weeps by my grave
EmC
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
EmC
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
EmC
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
Refrão:
CGD
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
AmCEm
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
CGD
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
AmCG
gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
