Ron Sexsmith – Gold In Them Hills
from the album ‘Cobblestone Runway’
Capo 2
C F C
I know it doesn't seem that way
F Am Dm
But maybe it's the perfect day
G Dm
Even though the bills are piling
G C
And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling
F C
But if we'd only open our eyes
F Am Dm
We'd see the blessings in disguise
G Dm
That all the rain clouds are fountains
G C Em
Though our troubles seem like mountains
[Chorus]
F G C Em
There's gold in them hills
F G Am
There's gold in them hills
G Am
So don't lose heart
Dm G C
Give the day a chance to start
[Verse]
C F C
Every now and then life says
F Am Dm
Where do you think you're going so fast
G Dm
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
G C
It's a case of cruel to be kind
F C
And if we'd get up off our knees
F Am Dm
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
G Dm
And we'd see the new sun rising
G C Em
Over the hills on the horizon
[Chorus]
F G C Em
There's gold in them hills
F G Am
There's gold in them hills
G Am
So don't lose faith
Dm G Em
Give the world a chance to say...
F Em
A word or two, my friend
F Em
There's no telling how the day might end
Am G F C Em
And we'll never know until we see that...
[Chorus]
F G C Em
There's gold in them hills
F G Am
There's gold in them hills
G Am
So don't lose heart
Dm G C Em
Give the day a chance to start
F G C Em
There's gold in them hills...
F G C
There's gold in them hills...
