        E                         A      E
I been swinging this hammer for a mighty long time
E                          A            E
What I wouldn't give for a nickel and a dime
      E                               A       E
I was up there in the hills where the colored bands run
E                                 A              E
Fanning 'cross the mountain and a-shining in the sun
  A                              D       A
I came across a mountain, it was leaning tall
E                          A        E
One wrong look and she was bound to fall
      A                        D       A
But I couldn't resist where my fortune lie
        B7
Now I'm bound to get rich if I keep from dyin'

        E
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
          A
There's a little more gold left here today
E                                             F#    B
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E
Every time I take a little piece I know
    A
I'm toeing the line with thе ol' pick hoe
    E                    B7                    E
And sooner or later this wholе thing is coming down

    E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
    A
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
    E        B7       E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

        E                             A         E
Well, I heard a little crack, heard a creak and moan
E                           A               E
Sounded like thunder and it shook me to the bone
E                     A       E
Just got a little bit more to go
E                            A           E
Ten thousand dollars and I'm headed back home
  A                          D     A
I finally had my fill, I was on my way
         E                             A         E
And that mountain started falling as I ran and I prayed
A                           D    A
Lord, if you let me make it out alive
           B7
I'll never chase another poke for my whole damn life

        E
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
          A
There's a little more gold left here today
E                                             F#    B
All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground
E
Every time I take a little piece I know
    A
I'm toeing the line with thе ol' pick hoe
    E                    B7                    E
And sooner or later this wholе thing is coming down
        E
Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away
          A
There's a little more gold left here today

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
    A
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
    E        B7       E
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
