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
