D                 G 
I know it doesn't seem that way  
D                  G          Em 
But maybe it's the perfect day  
                A               Em 
Even though the bills are piling  
               A               D  
And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling  
  
                 G            D  
But if we'd only open our eyes  
             G                  Em  
We'd see the blessings in disguise  
                  A                Em  
That all the rain clouds are fountains  
                    A                 D  
Though our troubles seem like mountains  
  

        G             D  
There's gold in them hills  
        G             Bm   
There's gold in them hills  
   A           Bm  
So don't lose heart  
         A              D  
Give the day a chance to start 


D             G 
Every now and then life says  
D                         G         Em 
Where do you think you're going so fast  
                      A              Em 
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes  
               A             D 
It's a case of cruel to be kind  

D                   G 
And if we'd get up off our knees  
D                     G              Em 
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees  
                 A            Em 
And we'd see the new sun rising  
         A                 D 
Over the hills on the horizon  
  

        G            D  
There's gold in them hills  
        G            Bm   
There's gold in them hills  
     A           Bm  
So don't lose faith  
         A              D  
Give the world a chance to say 

  
    A                Bm  
A word or two, my friend  
  A                        Bm  
There's no telling how the day might end  
    G           A        G  
And we'll never know until we see  
  D          G            D  
That there's gold in them hills  
        G            Bm  
There's gold in them hills  
     A         Bm  
So don't lose heart  
         A              D 
Give the day a chance to start  
        A            D  
There's gold in them hills  
        A            D  
There's gold in them hills
