[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                        *(A)-3-2-0----|
 And I'm getting old                             (E)-------3--|
 
Em                        G

 And I'm getting old

[Verse 2]
Em             C        D              G
 I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
Em                C            D        G
 I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
Em             C      D             G
 I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
Em                              G
 That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
C                   *  G
 And I'm getting old
 
Em                         G
 Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
C                    *  G
 And I'm getting old

 Keep me searching for a heart of gold
Em7                            D       Em
 You keep me searching and I'm growin' old
Em7                      D        Em
 Keep me searching for a heart of gold
Em7                      G             C     * G
 I've been a miner for a heart of gold
