AWorn down shacks of Gadd9labour past, on a D7/F#hill of broken Gadd9stone
Once D/F#brought by men to the Emstamping mills to Gcrush away the golA7d
But befA7/Gore it could pass tGadd9o their sons, the D/F#glory left the Ema9hole
The GRawdon Hills A7once were touched by GgoldD/F#  
The grandsons of the mining men scratch the fields among the trees
When the gold played out, they were all turned out with
   granite dusted knees
But at night around the stoves, sometimes the stories still unfold
How the Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold
Bridge:
Fma9Grandsons of the Emmining men, you'll D/F#see it in your dreams
Fma9Beneath your father's Embones still lies Dthe undiscovered seamD/C  
Of Quartzite, in a serpentine vein that Dmarks the greatest yield
And Galong the Midland railway, it's still Atold
How the GRawdon Hills A7once were touched by GgoldD  
Eighty years has been and gone since there was color in the hole
And the careworn shades of the hard-rock men surround the old Cope lode
And through the tiny hillside farms, the miner's tales grow old
The Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold
The Rawdon Hills once were touched by gold
