	Em	C
	Took my family away from my	Carolina home

	Em	C
	Had dreams about the West and s	tarted to roam

	Em	C
	Six long months on a d	ust covered trail

	Em
	They say heaven's at the end

	C
But so f	ar it's been hell

	G
And there's	fire on the mountain

	D
L	ightning in the air

	Am
	Gold in them hills

	C
And it's w	aiting for me

	Em	C
T	here (Riff #1 Pl	ayed Twice)

	Em	C
	We were diggin' and siftin'	from five to five

	Em	C
	Sellin' everything we found j	ust to stay alive

	Em	C
	Gold flowed free like the wh	iskey in the bars

	Em
	Sinnin' was the big thing lord

	C
And S	atan was the star

	G
And there's f	ire on the mountain

	D
L	ightning in the air

	Am
	Gold in them hills

C Em (With Riff #1) C

And it's waiting for me there

(Flute Solo)

	Em	C	Em	C	Em	C	Em	C	Em	C
									Dance hall girls were the	evening treat

	Em
	Empty cartridges and blood lined

	C
The g	utters of the street

	Em	C
	Men were shot down for the s	ake of fun

	Em	C
	Or just to hear the noise of their f	orty-four guns

	G
And there's f	ire on the mountain

	D
L	ightning in the air

	Am
	Gold in them hills

C Em (with Riff #1)

And it's waiting for me there

	Em	C
	Now my widow she w	eeps by my grave

	Em
	Tears flow free for her man

	C
	She couldn't save

And it's w	aiting for me th	ere
