G               C                    D
Well nothin' new has passed this way in a long time,
G              C          D
Maybe nothin's ever gonna come,
    G                C               D
And nothin' seems to grow outside my window,
  G                C             D
I think I'd better go and get me some,

[Chorus]
                C               D    
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills,
      G               C
That's makin' people nervous,
                                D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill,
      G              C
Start prayin' God preserve us,
  D
I can't believe how long I've stayed,
D
Two more days till I get paid,
         D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin,
C                 D
Tell him I'm done patiently waiting,
G    C  D   D             G   C   D
Hey, yeah  Patiently waitin,

[Verse 3]
     G                 C                    D
Well I've had fun just holding hands at the movie show,
    G                   C              D
And I've had good times tearing up the town,
         G                 C                        D
But I've spent cold nights waitin' out front of the movie show,
              G                   C                D
Thinking that half the hands that held me, held me down,

[Chorus]
                C               D    
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills,
       G               C
That's   makin' people nervous,
                                D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill,
      G              C
Start prayin' God preserve us,
  D
I can't believe how long I've stayed,
D
Two more days till I get paid,
         D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin,
C                 D
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin,

[Verse 3]
G                C                      D
Some folks never get their share of the sweet life,
G               C              D
Some just come around a little late,
              G            C            D
Oh, and I got this feeling sitting at a stop light,
           G                C
Seems like good things only come to those who,
D
Hit the road when they know what they want,

[Chorus]
        C                       D    
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills,
       G               C
That's   makin' people nervous,
                                D
You know they get scared of the cold and the chill,
      G              C
Start prayin' God preserve us,

I can't believe how long I've stayed,

Two more days till I get paid,
         D
And I'll find that small town boy I'm datin,
C                 D              G  C
Tell him I'm done patiently waitin,
D          
I'm done patiently waitin,
