[Verse 1]
---------------------
Em                           C
  Took my family away from my Carolina home
Em                             C
  Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Em                     C
  Six long months on a dust covered trail
Em                                    C
  They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
           G                      D
And there's fire on the mountain, lightning in the air
Am                            C              Em
  Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
C | Em | C 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Em                           C
  We were digging and sifting from five to five
Em                            C
  Selling everything we found just to stay alive
Em                          C
  Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Em                                   C
  Sinning was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Em                         C
  Dance hall girls were the evening treat
Em                                     C
  Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Em                          C
  Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Em                                  C
  Or just to hear the noise of their fortyfour guns



[Verse 4]
---------------------
Em                C
  Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Em                           C
  Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Em                             C
  Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
Em                             C
  All for a useless and no good worthless claim

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
           G                      D
And there's fire on the mountain, lightning in the air
Am                            C              G
  Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
                      D
Fire on the mountain, lightning in the air
Am                            C              Em
  Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

[Outro]
---------------------
C               G
 Waiting for me there
