This was done as a request for a tab.  Although there are no guitar parts
in this song, it is possible to strum it out.  The interpretation is up
to you.

The song is beautiful and straight forward, using only 5 chords.


Note: Standard Tuning.


PART 1: 

        Dmaj   Gmaj   Amaj
e |-----2------3------0------
b |-----3------3------2------
g |-----2------0------2------
d |-----0------0------2------
a |----(0)-----2------0------

e |-----2------3------

Note: during the "A word or two, my friend..." part,
Dmaj could be replaced with Dmaj7 (2x022x).  Both work.

LYRICS


(1)

(2) I know it doesn't seem that way 
But maybe it's the perfect day 
(3) Even though the bills are piling 
And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling 

(1)

(2) But if we'd only open our eyes 
We'd see the blessings in disguise 
(3) That all the rain clouds are fountains 
Though our troubles seem like mountains 

(1)

There's gold in them hills 
There's gold in them hills 
(4) So don't lose heart 
Give the day a chance to start 

(1)

(2) Every now and then life says 
Where do you think you're going so fast 
(3) We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes 
It's a case of cruel to be kind 

(1)

(2) And if we'd get up off our knees 
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees 
(3) And we'd see the new sun rising 
Over the hills on the horizon 

(1)

There's gold in them hills 
There's gold in them hills 
(4) So don't lose faith 
Give the world a chance to say... 

(2) A word or two, my friend 
There's no telling how the day might end 
(5) And we'll never know until
we see that

(1) There's gold in them hills 
There's gold in them hills 
(4) So don't lose heart 
Give the day a chance to start 

(1)

There's gold in them hills 
There's gold in them hills


{end on Dmaj}
