C                 F              C
I know it doesn't seem that way
                   F       Am     Dm
But maybe it's the perfect day
               G                  Dm                
Even though the bills are piling
               G                   C
And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

                 F              C
But if we'd only open our eyes
                       F      Am      Dm
We'd see the blessings in disguise
                  G                      Dm
That all the rain clouds are fountains
                    G                    C Em
Though our troubles seem like mountains


[Chorus]
        F       G           C Em
There's gold in them hills
        F       G           Am
There's gold in them hills
   G                 Am
So don't lose heart
         Dm    G         C    
Give the day a chance to start

[Verse]
C             F                C
Every now and then life says
                          F     Am    Dm
Where do you think you're going so fast
                      G                    Dm
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
               G                 C
It's a case of cruel to be kind
                   F               C
And if we'd get up off our knees
                      F      Am        Dm
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
                 G               Dm
And we'd see the new sun rising
         G                     C Em
Over the hills on the horizon

[Chorus]
        F       G            C Em
There's gold in them hills
        F       G            Am
There's gold in them hills
   G                 Am
So don't lose faith
         Dm      G           Em    
Give the world a chance to say...
  F                       Em
A word or two, my friend
F                          Em
There's no telling how the day might end
    Am          G       F         C Em
And we'll never know until we see that...

[Chorus]
        F       G            C Em
There's gold in them hills
        F       G            Am
There's gold in them hills
   G                 Am
So don't lose heart
         Dm    G         C     Em
Give the day a chance to start
        F       G    C Em
There's gold in them hills...
        F       G    C 
There's gold in them hills...
