Gold And Roses by The Black Lillies




            Gold And Roses






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
