Verse
[G]Who'd've ever [C9]thought [G]to [C9]call [G]that [D]coal,
If my [G]hands were warm then [C9]I [G]might, [C9]I [G]don't [D]know,
I keep [A7]panning, but in my [D7]reach, it
[C]Hangs o[G]n, water [C]falls [G]down,
There's no [A]gold[A/G] [A/F#] [A/E]
In this [C(9)]barren town.
(Play intro twice)
Verse 2
Used to be a man could make his way,
With a barrel full of this black coal,
Half certain you'd say,
But in my reach, it
Hangs on, water falls down,
There's no gold,
In this barren town.
(Play intro twice)
[G] [Am] [Em] [C] [Cmaj7] [G] [D]
[----------------------------------------------------] [-------------------------------------------------3--] [--0--2--4--4b5b4--2--0--------0--2--4--4--b5--b4----] [------------------------2-0-2-----------------------] [----------------------------------------------------] [----------------------------------------------------]
Hang on that D for a bit, then:
[-------------------] [-------------------] [-2-2-0-------------] [-------4-2-0-------] [-------------3-2-0-] [-------------------]
Intro two more times, then the third verse:
Look at every angle and draw the square,
Find some nut you can instead untighten,
Watch me in the corner with a pair,
Under certain pressure ace, a diamond.
So run your fingers down my back,
You'd make such a cool distraction,
'cause in my reach it
Hangs on,
Yeah, the walls down,
But there's no gold,
There's a line drawn and crossed, by the banks.
By the way
Water falls down,
There's no gold, in this barren town.
Intro twice, then repeat solo, ending on D.
