This song is mainly finger-picked the whole way through.
==CHORUS==
Dm G C G Am
Gonna get what's mine and wild horses couldn't keep it from me.
Dm G C G Am
Papa says I'm a golden child and the whole world's gonna fall at my feet.
Dm G Am
It's all coming to me.
`
`
==VERSE==
Am C
Going down picking when it's harvest time, gonna get my share, gonna get what's mine for me.
Am C
Sun is a-blazing down but I don't mind; I'm picking, I'm digging, it's harvest time for me.
F C Dm G Am
When I get my little eye on it, when I get my little mind on it, you best believe.
`
`
==VERSE==
Am C
Ole sweet tooth aching in my head, gonna fill my belly to the brim, oh yes indeed!
Am C
Hive is a-buzzing in a hollow tree and I don't care if I gotta kill a little honeybee.
F C Dm G Am
When I get my little eye on it, when I get my little mind on it, you best believe.
F C Dm G Am
Oh my my my my my my, it's all coming to me.
`
`
==CHORUS==
Dm G C G Am
Gonna get what's mine and wild horses couldn't keep it from me.
Dm G C G Am
Papa says I'm a golden child and the whole world's gonna fall at my feet.
Dm G Am
It's all coming to me.
`
`
==VERSE==
Am C
Pumpin' and a-suckin' till the well is dry, nobody's booming in these busted times like me.
Am C
Down in Texas where the cattle don't roam oil is a-dripping and the savings and loans, they bleed.
F C Dm G Am
When I get my little eye on it, when I get my little mind on it, you best believe.
F C Dm G Am
Oh my my my my my my, it's all coming to me.
`
`
==BRIDGE/OUTRO==
Am
Papa came along and he shook the tree;
Am
down came a bushel and a peck for me.
F
Papa shooed away all the honeybees.
Am
Papa dug a well and it flowed for me.
Am
Papa caught the mother-lode fish for me.
F Am
Papa set a fire and it burned for me.
Dm F
Papa put a skillet in the flame to fry;
C G
Papa filled this little silver spoon of mine.
F Am
Papa said the Lord took a shine to me.
Dm F
Papa said I gotta set the whole world free.
C G
whole world free, whole world free
Am
Papa said how it's gonna be.
