Gone For Gold by Jack and the Bear
Gone For Gold
Tuning: E A D G B E
No Capo
[Intro]
C E Am F C
[Verse 1]
C E Am
Does it make you feel mighty
F C
To be in control
C E Am
Have you ever witnessed beauty?
F C
Do you even know the word?
C E Am
Yes, mild is the life of a failure,
F C
I’m a victim to defeat and forfeit
C E Am
Oh should I be miserable and married?
F C
Cast out never sure of a win
[Bridge]
C E Am F C
[Verse 2]
C E Am
So a man lives his life, working
F C
For something he don’t like too well
C E
While the dreamers dream dreams
Am
Of more impossible schemes
F C
Only movies and writers can sell.
[Chorus 1]
F G
Well if you want to succeed at losing
C E Am
Then from this town no further seek.
F G C
Anywhere, anyone or anything
[Bridge]
C E Am F C
[Verse 3]
C E Am
Give me one last chance to draw out the line,
F C
Clock me out when it’s time to go
C E Am
To a life with a wife and a family
F C
Toss me a job and a steady billfold
C E Am
When the curtain finally falls down
F C
And it’s time to close up the shop
C E Am
Will you just stand right there and take another goddamn bow,
F C
Rise up or sit on back down
[Chorus 2]
F G
Oh you bastards keep on this one way
C E Am
As you fan yourselves with defeat
F G
As a child you’ll learn there’s no other way
C E Am
Until you learn what a lie really means
F G
I’m a man, no I am an animal
And this town's got to be something...
F G C
Another place, another home, to be
[Outro]
C E Am F C
C E Am F G C (whistle the tune)
