Right up to the top where I G7thought I'd find
A Chunk of rock that Fwould make it click
Just G7like I'd read about CVernon Pick
On the Csecond day, I made the top
And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was G7ready to stop
The Conly clickin' that I Fheard that day
Was the G7bones in my back that had Cgone astray
Chorus:
UCranium fever has Fdone and got me Cdown
UCranium fever is D7spreadin' all aG7round

You head out again 
Into some unknown spot where G7nobody's been
You Creach the spot where your Ffortune lies....
You G7find it's been staked by C17 other guys....  C  
Well, CI ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit
That bug's done caught me and G7I've been bit
So with a CGeiger counter and a Fpick in my hand
I'll keep G7right on stakin' that Cgovernment land
Chorus:
