[Intro]
A D E A x2
[Verse 1]
A E
Standing outside of Dollar General
D A
Another MLK boulevard
A E
Getting one more bag of dime store weed
D A
To smoke in my backyard
F#m E
Well I'm so damn bored I could cut myself
E A
Only four more hours to kill
A D E A
Every day until my mom gets out of working at the mill
[Chorus]
D E
You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy
A D
Don't let them get you down
D E
While the locals work for coffee
A D
Remember You own this town
F#m E
Not a soul is gonna listen
A D
Yeah, your scream won't make a sound
F#m E D
With a world so black and white, boy...
A D E A A D E A
Stay gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold
[Verse 2]
A E
We went by the Marietta train tracks
D A
Where your sister lost her days
A E
Traded a dirty magazine
D A
To the pinball guy for plays
F#m E
I remember you always saying
E A
If you ever got out alive
F#m E D E A
You'd quit using and you'd get married to that girl on page twenty-five
[Chorus]
D E
You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy
A D
Don't let them get you down
D E
While the locals work for coffee
A D
Remember You own this town
F#m E
Not a soul is gonna listen
A D
Yeah, your scream won't make a sound
F#m E D
With a world so black and white, boy...
A D E A A D E A
Stay gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold, gooooooooold
[Chorus]
D E
You gotta stay gold, now my pony boy
A D
Don't let them get you down
D E
While the locals work for coffee
A D
Remember You own this town
F#m E
Not a soul is gonna listen

Yeah, your scream won't make a sound
F#m E D
With a world so black and white, boy...
