I tabbed this out from a live studio performance I watched on Youtube. 
Standard tuning.
No capo.
[Verse 1]
G
I haven’t got a pickup truck to take me into town
G
I don’t have the ways or means to lay my money down
        C
Lay it down
C             D                     G
But I’ve got gold — underneath the ground
[Verse 2]
G
Rise me up before the sun lays the bad boys down
G
I’ll go out into the yard and kick my feet around
               C
I’ll kick ‘em round
C             D                     G
But I’ve got gold — underneath the ground
[Instrumental]
G  C  D  G
[Verse 3]
G
Bill collectors ring my phone they keep me on the run
G
They don’t the know the ways I’ve got, the ways of having fun
        C
I have fun
C         D                     G
I’ve got gold — underneath the ground
[Verse 4]
G
Do a jig above the twigs spin yourself around
G
Dig down low below the soil that’s where I’ll be found
           C
I’ll be found
C        D                     G
Digging gold — underneath the ground
[Outro]
           D                    G
Spending gold — underneath the ground
          D                    G
Digging gold — underneath the ground
          D                     G
I’ve got gold — underneath the ground
