[Intro]
| E | E | E | E |
[Verse 1]
E A E
I been swinging this hammer for a mighty long time
E A E
What I wouldn't give for a nickel and a dime
E A E
I was up there in the hills where the colored bands run
E A E
Fanning 'cross the mountain and a-shining in the sun
A D A
I came across a mountain, it was leaning tall
E A E
One wrong look and she was bound to fall
A D A
But I couldn't resist where my fortune lie
B7
Now I'm bound to get rich if I keep from dyin'
[Chorus]
E
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
A
There's a little more gold left here today
E F# B
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E
Every time I take a little piece I know
A
I'm toeing the line with th? ol' pick hoe
E B7 E
And sooner or later this whol? thing is coming down
[Post-Chorus]
E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
A
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
E B7 E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
[Verse 2]
E A E
Well, I heard a little crack, heard a creak and moan
E A E
Sounded like thunder and it shook me to the bone
E A E
Just got a little bit more to go
E A E
Ten thousand dollars and I'm headed back home
A D A
I finally had my fill, I was on my way
E A E
And that mountain started falling as I ran and I prayed
A D A
Lord, if you let me make it out alive
B7
I'll never chase another poke for my whole damn life
[Chorus]
E
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
A
There's a little more gold left here today
E F# B
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E
Every time I take a little piece I know
A
I'm toeing the line with th? ol' pick hoe
E B7 E
And sooner or later this whol? thing is coming down
E
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
A
There's a little more gold left here today
E F# B
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E
Every time I take a little piece I know
A
I'm toeing the line with th? ol' pick hoe
E B7 E
And sooner or later this whol? thing is coming down
[Post-Chorus]
E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
A
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
E B7 E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
A
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
E B7 E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
