(verse 1) 
     G5               C5                    D5 
Well nothin' new has passed this way in a long time, 
G5              C5          D5 
Maybe nothin's ever gonna come, 
    G5                C5               D5 
And nothin' seems to grow outside my window, 
  G5                C5             D5 
I think I'd better go and get me some, 


                C5               D5     
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills, 
      G5               C5 
That's makin' people nervous, 
                                D5 
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill, 
      G5              C5 
Start prayin' God preserve us, 
  D5 
I can't believe how long I've stayed, 
D5 
Two more days till I get paid, 
         D5 
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin, 
C5                 D5 
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting, 
G5    C5  D5   D5             G5 - C5 - D5 
Hey, yeah  Patiently waitin,  
 
(verse 3) 
     G5                 C5                    D5 
Well I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show, 
    G5                   C5              D5 
And I've had good times tearing up the town, 
         G5                 C5                        D5 
But I've spent cold nights waitin' out front of the movie show, 
              G5                   C5                D5 
Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down, 
 
(chorus) 
                C5               D5     
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills, 
       G5               C5 
That's   makin' people nervous, 
                                D5 
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill, 
      G5              C5 
Start prayin' God preserve us, 
  D5 
I can't believe how long I've stayed, 
D5 
Two more days till I get paid, 
         D5 
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin, 
C5                 D5 
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin,

(verse 3) 
G5                C5                      D5 
Some folks never get their share of the sweet life, 
G5               C5              D5 
Some just come around a little late, 
              G5            C5            D5 
Oh, and I got this feeling sitting at a stop light, 
           G5                C5 
Seems like good things only come to those who, 
D5 
Hit the road when they know what they want, 
 
(chorus) 
        C5                       D5     
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills, 
       G5               C5 
That's   makin' people nervous, 
                                D5 
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill, 
      G5              C5 
Start prayin' God preserve us, 
  D5 
I can't believe how long I've stayed, 
D5 
Two more days till I get paid, 
         D5 
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin, 
C5                 D5              G5  C5 
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin, 
D5           
I'm done patiently waitin,
