Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 On the first  day of winter
 I was set  to leave
 With the lost  awe of true love in my eye
 The wild  frontier outlaws  and thieves
 To find  me A mountain in the sky
There's  gold In them hills
I  heard the man cry
There's  gold In them hills
For  the taking
It's  a one-way ticket down
A  river of lies
There's  gold In them hills
If  you make it
 On the last day of spring I first saw the sea
 A poor boy with good luck on my side
 Ready for riches I rolled up my sleeve
 And took my first step Down my life
Had  my wallet same  old pocket
Sixteen dollars, brand  new shoes
Empty bottles, sad  turned daughters
What's  a country  boy to  do
Tell  dear mother that  I miss her
But  things are different now
There's  nothing I can do
Your  dark haired son is now long gone
Remember  me when you stare At  the moon
 I've broken my heart diamonds and gold
 Through scandal, through madness, through cold
 All I have left is this grey in my beard
 This mountain and the stories that I've told
