Intro - G - C - D - G - C - D = 2x's  
 
 
(verse 1) 
     G               C                    D 
Well nothin' new has passed this way in a long time, 
G              C          D 
Maybe nothin's ever gonna come, 
    G                C               D 
And nothin' seems to grow outside my window, 
  G                C             D 
I think I'd better go and get me some, 

                C               D     
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills, 
      G               C 
That's makin' people nervous, 
                                D 
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill, 
      G              C 
Start prayin' God preserve us, 
  D 
I can't believe how long I've stayed, 
D 
Two more days till I get paid, 
         D 
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin, 
C                 D 
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting, 
G    C  D   D             G - C - D 
Hey, yeah  Patiently waitin,
 
 
 
(verse 3) 
     G                 C                    D 
Well I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show, 
    G                   C              D 
And I've had good times tearing up the town, 
         G                 C                        D 
But I've spent cold nights waitin' out front of the movie show, 
              G                   C                D 
Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down, 
 
 
(chorus) 
                C               D     
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills, 
       G               C 
That's   makin' people nervous, 
                                D 
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill, 
      G              C 
Start prayin' God preserve us, 
  D 
I can't believe how long I've stayed, 
D 
Two more days till I get paid, 
         D 
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin, 
C                 D 
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin, 
 
(lead - G - C - D - G - C - D - G - C - D - 2x's) 
 
 
(verse 3) 
G                C                      D 
Some folks never get their share of the sweet life, 
G               C              D 
Some just come around a little late, 
              G            C            D 
Oh, and I got this feeling sitting at a stop light, 
           G                C 
Seems like good things only come to those who, 
D 
Hit the road when they know what they want, 
 
 
(chorus) 
        C                       D     
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills, 
       G               C 
That's   makin' people nervous, 
                                D 
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill, 
      G              C 
Start prayin' God preserve us, 
  D 
I can't believe how long I've stayed, 
D 
Two more days till I get paid, 
         D 
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin, 
C                 D              G  C 
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin, 
D           
I'm done patiently waitin,
