This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse

G C9 G C9 G D

Who'd've ever thought to call that coal,

G C9 G C9 G D

If my hands were warm then I might, I don't know,

A7 D7

I keep panning, but in my reach, it

C G C G

Hangs on, water falls down,

A A/G A/F# A/E

There's no gold

C(9)

In this barren town.

(Play intro twice)

Verse 2

Used to be a man could make his way,

With a barrel full of this black coal,

Half certain you'd say,

But in my reach, it

Hangs on, water falls down,

There's no gold,

In this barren town.

(Play intro twice)

Hang on that D for a bit, then:

-------------------

Intro two more times, then the third verse:

Look at every angle and draw the square,

Find some nut you can instead untighten,

Watch me in the corner with a pair,

Under certain pressure ace, a diamond.

So run your fingers down my back,

You'd make such a cool distraction,

'cause in my reach it

Hangs on,

Yeah, the walls down,

But there's no gold,

There's a line drawn and crossed, by the banks.

By the way

Water falls down,

There's no gold, in this barren town.

Intro twice, then repeat solo, ending on D.
