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