 G   C   D   G   C    D2x's 
[Verse 1]
Well Gnothin' new has Cpassed this way in a Dlong time,
GMaybe nothin's Cever gonna Dcome,
And Gnothin' seems to Cgrow outside my Dwindow,
I Gthink I'd better Cgo and get me Dsome,
[Chorus]
Well, I want to Cget some of the Dgold in the hills,
That's Gmakin' people nCervous,
You know they get scared of the Dcold and the chill,
Start Gprayin' God preCserve us,
I Dcan't believe how long I've stayed,
DTwo more days till I get paid,
And I'll Dfind that small town boy I'm datin,
CTell him I'm done Dpatiently waiting,
GHey, CyeaDh  PDatiently waitiGn,C  D  
[Verse 3]
Well GI've had fun just Cholding hands at the Dmovie show,
And GI've had good times Ctearing up the Dtown,
But I've Gspent cold nights Cwaitin' out front of the Dmovie show,
Thinking that Ghalf the hands that Cheld me, held me Ddown,
[Chorus]
Well, I want to Cget some of the Dgold in the hills,
That's   Gmakin' people Cnervous,
You know they get scared of the Dcold and the chill,
Start Gprayin' God preCserve us,
I Dcan't believe how long I've stayed,
DTwo more days till I get paid,
And I'll Dfind that small town boy I'm datin,
CTell him I'm done Dpatiently waitin,
[Instrumental]
 G   C   D   G   C   D   G   C     D2x's
[Verse 3]
GSome folks never Cget their share of the Dsweet life,
GSome just come aCround a little Dlate,
Oh, and I got Gthis feeling Csitting at a Dstop light,
Seems like Ggood things only Ccome to those who,
DHit the road when they know what they want,
[Chorus]
Well, I Cwant to get some of the Dgold in the hills,
That's   Gmakin' people Cnervous,
You know they get scared of the Dcold and the chill,
Start Gprayin' God preCserve us,
I Dcan't believe how long I've stayed,
DTwo more days till I get paid,
And I'll Dfind that small town boy I'm datin,
CTell him I'm done Dpatiently waitiGn,C  
DI'm done patiently waitin,
