[Verse]
Em7 Em
The story is told of the
Em7 Em
Power of gold
Em7 Em C D
And it's lure on the unsuspecting
Em7 Em
It glitters and shines
Em7 Em
It badgers and blinds
Em7 Em C D
And constantly needs protecting
[Chorus]
B7 Em B7 Em
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
Em D Cmaj7
With the dreams you lightly sold
D C D Em
Are you under
B7 Em7
The power of gold?
[Verse]
Em7 Em
The letters and calls
Em7 Em
Got you climbing the walls
Em7 Em C D
An everyone needs a favor
Em7 Em
They beg to remind you
Em7 Em
Of times left behind you
Em7 Em C D
But you know the past is a loser
[Chorus]
B7 Em B7 Em
The face you're wearing is different now
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7
And the days run hot and cold
D C D Em
Are you under
B7 E7 Em
The power of gold?
[Verse]
B7 Em7 Em
You're a creature of habit
Em7 Em
Run like a rabbit
Em7 Em C D
Scared of a fear you can't name
Em7 Em
Your own paranoia
Em7 Em
Is looming before you
Em7 Em
But nobody thinks that
C D
It's a game
[Chorus]
B7 Em B7 Em
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
Em7 Em D Cmaj7
With the dreams you lightly sold
D D
Then tell me
D Em
That you're free
B7 Em7 Em
Of the power of gold
[End and fade]
D Em7
The women are lovely
Em Em7
The wine is superb
C
But there's something about the song
D Em Em7
That disturbs you...
