John Prine - You Got Gold guitar chord

You Got Gold

written by John Prineand Keith Sykes

from the album "The Missing Years"

tabbed 6/20/05

NOTE: In the CHORUS, the base-notes aren't necessary. It just fits better, but I don't use

them (too damn hard to remember). Don't think he uses any with the E chord.

INTRO: A/ A/ D E A

A D

Is there ever enough space between us to keep us both honest and true

A

Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard and stare at the sky so blue

D

I got a new way of walkin' and a new way of talkin' honey when I'm around you

A E A

But it gives me the blues when I got some good news and you're not there to bring it to

Life is a blessing it's a delicatessen of all the little favors you do

All wrapped up together no matter the weather, baby you always come thru

It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure of lovin' you the way I do

And you know I would gladly say I need your love badly and bring these little things to you

CHORUS:

D

'Cause you got gold

D D/A D/B D/F# A

Gold in side of you

D

You got gold

D D/A D/B D/F# A

Gold in side of you

E

Well I got some

E E E E A

Gold inside me too

REPEAT CHORUS CHORDS

Well I'm thinkin' I'm knowin' that I gotta be goin' you know I hate to say so long

It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion, I'll have to work it out in song

Well I'm leavin' a lot for the little I got, but you know a lot of little'll do

And if you give me your love I'll let it shine up above and light my way back home to you

CHORUS

CHORUS 2:

You got wheels

Turning inside of you

You got wheels

Turning inside of you

Well I got wheels

Turning inside me too

REPEAT CHORUS CHORDS and fade
