Gold and Roses The Black Lillies
[C]Ten thousand feet above them d[G]eep dark waters
There's a [C]land like I ain't [Em]never seen
There's [C]silver and gold midst a [G]wild rose garden
[C]Shining on the hillside for [G]me
[C]I set out from [G]Eastern Kentucky
Said [C]farewell to family and [Em]home
Then [C]I headed west to [G]seek my fortune,
[C]Figured I could make it [G]alone
CHORUS Em G
But there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
There ain't no [C]sunshine and there ain't no [Em]rain
Only [C]darkness, toils and [G]troubles
Steal my [D]life's blood down in this [C]vein
Steal my [Em]life's blood[D] vein by [G]vein
[C]I fell in with a stranger in [G]Kansas City
He said [C]"Son, now I'm a Union [Em]man.
I've a [C]fine team of mules and [G]rations for the winter;
[C]Traveler, I sure could use a [G]hand."
[C]When springtime broke on that [G]western prairie
To them [C]red rock hills I was [Em]bound
Now I'm [C]digging for gold in an [G]old rock garden
And [C]nothing of worth I've [G]found
CHORUS Em G
But there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
There ain't no [C]sunshine and there ain't no [Em]rain
Only [C]darkness, toils and [G]troubles
Steal my [D]life's blood down in this [C]vein
Steal my [Em]life's blood[D] vein by [G]vein
BRIDGE
[C]Come on now baby can you [G]save my soul
Traveled [C]all across the country got to [G]find that gold
[C]One more shot of whiskey 'fore I [G]ask your man
For [C]sixty-four dollars, got a [G]brand new plan
[C]Me and ol? Frisco gonna [G]climb up over town
Dig a [C]hole in the mountain, we ain't [G]coming down
[C]Take a look around and [G]see what we can find,
[C]I hope you like silver - we've got a [G]brand new mine....
CHORUS Em G
Well there ain't no gold and there ain't no roses
There ain't no [C]sunshine and I don't [Em]care
Goodbye [C]darkness, so long [G]troubles,
One hundred [D]thousand will buy my [C]share,
One hundred [Em]thousand will[D] buy my [G]share
