 Verse 
  
 G             C9      G  C9   G    D 
 Who'd've ever thought to call that coal, 
  
       G                    C9 G      C9 G     D 
 If my hands were warm then I  might, I  don't know, 
  
        A7                 D7 
 I keep panning, but in my reach, it 
  
 C      G        C     G 
 Hangs on, water falls down, 
  
            A    A/G A/F# A/E 
 There's no gold 
  
         C(9) 
 In this barren town. 
  
 (Play intro twice) 
  
 Verse 2 
  
 Used to be a man could make his way, 
 With a barrel full of this black coal, 
 Half certain you'd say, 
 But in my reach, it 
 Hangs on, water falls down, 
 There's no gold, 
 In this barren town. 
  
 (Play intro twice) 
  
    G        Am           Em             C Cmaj7 G D

 [-------4-2-0-------] 
 [-------------3-2-0-]

 Intro two more times, then the third verse: 
  
 Look at every angle and draw the square, 
 Find some nut you can instead untighten, 
 Watch me in the corner with a pair, 
 Under certain pressure ace, a diamond. 
 So run your fingers down my back, 
 You'd make such a cool distraction, 
 'cause in my reach it 
 Hangs on, 
 Yeah, the walls down, 
 But there's no gold, 
 There's a line drawn and crossed, by the banks. 
 By the way 
 Water falls down, 
 There's no gold, in this barren town. 
  
 Intro twice, then repeat solo, ending on D.
