She was ^Gdriving across Nevada when her ^C7Chevrolet broke d^Gown Out in the middle of the desert, m^Files from the n^Cearest t^D7own She ^Gspied this little ol' run-down shack ^C7sitting on the side of the h^Gill On the porch was a man and above his head was a s^Fign that said the ^CGolden ^GLil He was leather-tanned and bearded, she ^C7couldn't tell just how o^Gld He said, "Come on in, my name's Jake, these ^Fdesert n^Cights get c^D7old" He l^Gaid out supper and he watched her close and she ^C7ate by the coal oil l^Gight And he said, "Girl, I bet you don't know it, but you're ^Fsitting ^Con a ^Ggold mine"

Girl, you're ^C7sitting on a gold mine, no ^G7telling what it's worth Some folks get to be mighty well off from just a little d^D7irt He said, "L^G7ove and gold are the only two things that can ^C7buy a better way of l^G7ife And you may not know it, but ^Fgirl, you're ^Csitting on a ^Ggold mine"

It was ^Gtwo weeks later when a Greyhound bus ^C7dropped off the needed p^Garts And in that short time, she'd weaved her way in^Fto the o^Cld man's h^D7eart They ^Glaughed and joked while they fixed the car and she ^C7packed up for L^GA And as she drove away from the Golden Lil, ^Fshe heard o^Cld Jake ^Gsay

Girl, you're ^C7sitting on a gold mine, no ^G7telling what it's worth Some folks get to be mighty well off from just a little d^D7irt He said, "L^G7ove and gold are the only two things that can ^C7buy a better way of l^G7ife And you may not know it, but ^Fgirl, you're ^Csitting on a ^Ggold mine" G#
