Chorus:  G          C           G          D
There's gold in the mountains, gold in the valleys

 G           C      G           D
Gold in the rivers and gold in the sea

 G           C           G        D
Fortunes are waiting for men to claim them

 G             C               G      D  G
But only the heartaches are waiting for me.

  G            C          G          D
I left my home town, one warm summer evening

 G                C               G     D
Went down to the station to catch me a train

 G             C          G       D
Rode west to Missouri and into Wyoming

 G             C          G        D     G
And down to California to stake my gold claim.

 G                      C         G          D
It was there that I met her, the cause of my trouble

G            C            G      D
A woman of beauty for all men to see

 G               C          G          D
She fed me dry whiskey and gave me a six gun

 G             C               G      D  G
Now only the heartaches are waiting for me.
Chorus:....
 G                  C              G           D
I'm so tired of fighting, for the love of this woman

 G               C           G       D
the notches on my gun are twenty and three

 G                 C       G            D
So I'm leaving my lover because of my trouble

 G             C               G      D  G
And only the heartaches are waiting for me. 
Chorus & End. ( Tune: Streets of Laredo )
