[Em]Took my family away from my [C]Carolina home
[Em]Had dreams about the West and s[C]tarted to roam
[Em]Six long months on a d[C]ust covered trail
[Em]They say heaven's at the end
But so f[C]ar it's been hell
And there's[G] fire on the mountain
L[D]ightning in the air
[Am]Gold in them hills
And it's w[C]aiting for me
T[Em]here (Riff #1 Pl[C]ayed Twice)

[Em]We were diggin' and siftin' [C]from five to five
[Em]Sellin' everything we found j[C]ust to stay alive
[Em]Gold flowed free like the wh[C]iskey in the bars
[Em]Sinnin' was the big thing lord
And S[C]atan was the star
And there's f[G]ire on the mountain
L[D]ightning in the air
[Am]Gold in them hills
C Em (With Riff #1) C
And it's waiting for me there

[Em]Dance hall girls were the [C]evening treat
[Em]Empty cartridges and blood lined
The g[C]utters of the street
[Em]Men were shot down for the s[C]ake of fun
[Em]Or just to hear the noise of their f[C]orty-four guns
And there's f[G]ire on the mountain
L[D]ightning in the air
[Am]Gold in them hills
C Em (with Riff #1)
And it's waiting for me there
[Em]Now my widow she w[C]eeps by my grave
[Em]Tears flow free for her man
[C]She couldn't save

[Em]All for a useless and no good w[C]orthless claim
