Farewell To The Gold
Tono: Original
[Verse]
C G Am Em
Shotover River, your gold it is waningÂ
F G C G
It's weeks since the color I've seen.Â
C G Am Em
But it's no use just sitting and Lady Luck blamingÂ
F G Am
I'll pack up and make the break clean.Â
[Chorus]
G C G
Farewell to the gold that never I found,Â
Am F G Â Â Â
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound;Â
C G Am Em
For it's only when dreaming that I see you gleamingÂ
 F G C       Â
Down in the dark deep underground.Â
[Verse]
C G Am Em
It's nearly two years since I left my old motherÂ
F G C G
For adventure and gold by the pound.Â
C G Am Em
With Jimmy the prospector, he was another,Â
F G Am
For the hills of Otago was bound.Â
C G Am Em
Well we worked the Cardrona's dry valley all overÂ
F G C G
Old Jimmy Williams and me.Â
C G Am Em
They were panning good dirt on the winding ShotoverÂ
F G Am
So we drifted down there just to see.Â
C G Am Em
We sluiced and we cradled for day after dayÂ
F G C G
Barely making enough to get by;Â
C G Am Em
'Til a terrible flood swept poor Jimmy awayÂ
F G Am
During six stormy days in July
