[Verse 1]
Em          C     D            G
  I want to live,    I want to give
Em            C           D        G
  I've been a miner for a heart of gold
Em           C          D        G
  It's these expressions I never give
Em                             G
  That keep me searching for a heart of gold
C                       G
   And I'm getting old
Em                        G
  Keep me searching for a heart of gold
C                       G
   And I'm getting old

Just in case anybody's wondering, The harmonica is in G and played on the 4-8 holes blow & draw, just rock it out and you'll get it.
