Chords used: ,,. Strumming Patt: U U U / U U U. //////// //////// There's gold in the mountains, gold in the valleys Gold in the rivers and gold in the sea Fortunes are waiting for men to claim them But only the heartaches are waiting for me. I left my home town, one warm summer evening Went down to the station to catch me a train Rode west to Missouri and into Wyoming And down to California to stake my gold claim. It was there that I met her, the cause of my trouble A woman of beauty for all men to see She fed me dry whiskey and gave me a six gun Now only the heartaches are waiting for me. I'm so tired of fighting, for the love of this woman the notches on my gun are twenty and three So I'm leaving my lover because of my trouble And only the heartaches are waiting for me. ( Tune: Streets of Laredo )
