the rawdon hills Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Asus4][A][G][D][E][G][A][G][D]
[Asus4]
The [A]worn- down shacks of

[Verse 1]
[G]
labour past on [D]a hill of broken [G]stone
Once [D]brought by men to [Em]the stamping mills
to brush away [G]the gold[Em][Asus4][A]
But before it could pass [G]to their son[D]s,
the glory left the [E]hole
The [G]Rawdon Hills [Asus4]once were
[A]touched by [D]gold

[Verse 2]
[Asus4]
[A]The grandsons of the [G]mining men scratch
the [D]fields among the [G]trees
When the [D]gold played out,
they were [Em]all turned out with [G]granite- dusted [Asus4]knees[A]
But at night around the stove,
[G]sometimes the[D] stories still unfol[E]d
The [G]Rawdon Hills [Asus4]once were[A]
touched by [D]gold

[Verse 3]
[F]
Grandson of the [Em]mining men,
[D]you'll see it in [F]your dreams
Beneath your father[Em]'s bones still lies
[D]the undiscovered sea[G]m
Of quartzite in a serpentine vein that
[D]marks the greatest yield
[G]And along the Midland Railway,
it's still [Asus4]told[A]
How the [G]Rawdon [A]Hills once were touched by [D]gold

[Interlude 1]
[D][Asus4]
[A][G][D][G][D][Em][G][Em][A]
[G][D][E][G][A][G][D]
[A]

[Verse 4]
Eighty years has [G]been and gone since
there was [D]colour in the [G]hole
And the [D]care- worn shades of the [Em]hard rock
men sur[G]round the old Cope [A]Lode
And through the tiny [G]hillside farms,
[D]the mines tales grow [E]old
The [G]Rawdon Hills [A]once were
touched by [G]gold[D][G]
The [Asus4]Rawdon Hi[A]lls once[G]
were touched by [A]gold
