Intro:  G C D  

          G                          D  
It had been a year since I'd been home  
     C                      D                        G        C  
So dad and I took drive around the farm  
      G                          D                       C  
We cut come burrs til smoko, made a fire  
      D                        G        C  
Sat down and had a yarn  
                                D  
Looking back down through the years  
     C                          D  
I'm right there by his side

It was gold  
       Em                              G  
The moment my heart will hold  
   D                  Bm  Em       D        C  
It might take a little time, to see it shine

It was gold  
  

G                        D  
We hit three bad seasons  
        C                D                  G      C  
And I told him I'm finally giving up  
       G                     D  
She held me in the darkness  
       C                                D              G     C  
She wept and whispered "don't give up"  
                                           D  
Though the years roll on, I still recall  
        C                      D  
How she believed in me

It might take a little time, to see it shine  
          G  
It was gold
