You Got Gold
Recorded by John Prine
Written by Keith Sykes and John Prine
G
Is there ever enough space between us
D7
To keep us both honest and true
Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard
G
And stare at the sky so blue
G
I've got a new way of walking and a new way of talking
C
Honey when I'm around you
G
But it gives me the blues when I've got some good news
D G
And you're not there to bring it to
G
Life is a blessing it's a delicatessen
D7
Of all the little favors you do
All wrapped up together no matter the weather
G
Baby you always come through
G
It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure
C
Of loving you the way I do
G
And you know I would gladly say I need your love badly
D G
And bring these little things to you
C G
Cause you got gold gold inside of you
C G
You got gold gold inside of you
D G
Well I got some gold inside me too
G
Well I'm thinking I'm knowing that I gotta be going
D
You know I hate to say so long
It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion
G
I'll have to work it out in a song
G
Well I'm leaving a lot for the little I got
C
But you know a lot a little will do
G
And if you give me your love I'll let it shine up above
D G
And light my way back home to you
C G
Cause you got gold gold inside of you
C G
You got gold gold inside of you
D G
Well I got some gold inside me too
C G
You got wheels turning inside of you
C G
You got wheels turning inside of you
D G
Well I got wheels turning inside me too
