Only The Heartaches Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]There's gold in the mountains,
gold in the valleys
But only the heartaches
are waiting for me
I left my ho[D]metown
one [G]warm summer [D]evening
Went [G]down to the [C]station
to [G]catch me a [D]train
From [G]West through Mis[D]souri
and [G]into Wyom[D]ing
Headed [G]out to [C]California
to [D]stake a gold [G]claim
I met her at [D]Clancy's,
the [G]cause of my [D]troubles
A [G]woman with [C]beauty for [G]all men to [D]see
[C]She [G]fed me my [D]whiskey
and [G]gave me a [D]six -gun
Said the [G]fools do the [C]digging,
smart [D]men work for [G]me
There's gold in the mountains,
gold [C]in the valleys
[G]Gold in the rivers
and [A]gold in the [D]sea
For[G]tunes are waiting for
[C]men to claim them
But [G]only the heartaches
are [D]waiting for [G]me[C][G][D][G]
She gave me [C]her fa[D]vor,
I [G]gave her my [D]six gun
We [G]cheated most [C]all on
the miners [G]in [D]town
And [G]those who complained
[D]that she dea[G]lt from the bottom[D]
Were chal[G]lenged to draw
[C]and were [D]quickly shot [G]down
But I'm so tired of [D]fighting
for [G]love on this wo[D]man
The [G]notches on [C]my guns
are [G]twenty and three
[D]So I'm lea[G]ving my lover,[D]
the [G]cause of my [D]troubles
And [G]only the [C]heartaches
are [D]waiting for [G]me
