Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Bm D
My name is Bill Harlan. I'm a God fearin' man
Bm A
From the lost rebel army, a Tennessee Calvary man
G D
From Shilo to Nashville we made our last stand
Bm A D
When the battles were over, everythin' we had was gone with the wind

Bm D
But I still had my family and a hope and a dream
Bm A
And I heard of gold fever and the Rocky Mountain streams
G D
So we took what we had and some gold diggin' gear
Bm A D
And we headed for a new life on the Northwest fron- tier

Bm D
Montana Terri- tory where the winters are cold
Bm A
The lands full of game and the creeks are full of gold
G D
Just west of the mountains is a town they call Gibbons- ville
Bm A
You can sure get gold fever, you can damn sure get killed
G D
But I staked my claims, I was rarin' to go
Bm A D
I've made up my mind and I set out to find the Gibbonsville gold

[Chorus]
G D
Oh, you find just a little, just enough to get by
A D
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why
G D
There's a whole lot more down there, I don't have to be told
Bm A D
I've made up my mind and I'm gonna find that Gibbonsville gold

Bm D
Every morning at daylight with a pick and a pan
Bm A
Keep an eye out for the blackfeet. Keep a rifle near hand
G D
Back shooters and grizzlies, better stay alert all the time
Bm A D
'Cause the only law here in this wild country is the gun and the knife

Bm D
In the year of our Lord, eighteen sixty- nine
Bm A
I lost my dear son to a cave-in at the mine
G D
Yes I know he's gone please God rest his soul
Bm A D
So many have died trying to find this damned Gibbonsville gold

[Chorus]
G D
Yeah, you find just a little, just enough to get by
A D
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why
G D
Then someone finds a nugget, just as big as your thumb
A D
And we all go hard at it from sun until sun
G D
Yeah I got to find it, that main mother load
Bm A D
I've made up my mind and I swear to find that Gibbonsville gold

[Tag]
G D
There's a whole lot more down there, my share of that main mother load
Bm A D
I've made up my mind and I swear to find the Gibbonsville gold --- fade
