[INTRO]
[C] [G] [Am] [Em]
[F] [G] [C] [G]
[VERSE 1]
[C]Shotover [G]River, the [Am]gold lies [Em]waiting
It's [F]years since the [G]color I've [C]seen[G]
And it's [C]no use in [G]sitting or [Am]Lady Luck [Em]blaming
I'll [F]pack up and [G]make the break [C]clean
[CHORUS]
[G]Farewell to the gold that [C]never I [G]found
[C]Goodbye to the [C/B]nuggets that [Am7]somewhere are bo[G]und
For it's [C]only when [G]dreaming that [Am]I'll see you [Em]gleaming
Down [F]in the dark [G]deep under[C]ground
[VERSE 2]
It's [C]nearly two [G]years since I [Am]left my own [Em]mother
For [F]excitement and [G]gold by the [C]poun[G]d
With [C]Jimmy the pro[G]spector, Oh [Am]he was [Em]another
And to the [F]hills of [G]Otago we were [C]bound
[CHORUS]
[G]Farewell to the gold that [C]never I [G]found,
[C]Goodbye to the [C/B]nuggets that [Am7]somewhere are [G]bound
For it's [C]only when [G]dreaming that [Am]I'll see you [Em]gleaming
Down [F]in the dark [G]deep under[C]ground
[VERSE 3]
Well we [C]worked the Car[G]drona's dry [Am]valley all [Em]over
[F]Old Jimmy [G]Williams and [C]me [G]
They were [C]panning good [G]dirt down on [Am]winding [Em]Shotover
So we [F]headed down [G]there just to [C]see
[CHORUS]
[G]Farewell to the gold that [C]never I [G]found,
[C]Goodbye to the [C/B]nuggets that [Am7]somewhere are [G]bound
For it's [C]only when [G]dreaming that [Am]I'll see you [Em]gleaming
Down [F]in the dark [G]deep under[C]ground
[VERSE 4]
We [C]sluiced and we [G]cradled for [Am]day after [Em]day
Barely [F]making e[G]nough to get [C]by [G]
And then a [C]terrible [G]flood washed poor [Am]Jimmy [Em]away
During [F]six stormy [G]days in [C]July
[CHORUS]
[G]Farewell to the gold that [C]never I [G]found,
[C]Goodbye to the [C/B]nuggets that [Am7]somewhere are [G]bound
For it's [C]only when [G]dreaming that [Am]I'll see you [Em]gleaming
Down [F]in the dark [G]deep under[C]ground.
