Gold Digger
Cat Stevens
Artist: Yusuf Islam (a.k.a. Cat Stevens) Title: Gold Digger Album: Tell ’Em I’m Gone Special thanks to J180Everly on youtube for a great "how to" for this song. The fill riffs are pretty easy to figure out if you watch his video. [Intro] Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where’s my pay? Hmmm Mr. Gold Man! Not one more day. Misterrrrr! Can’t you hear my children cryin’? [Verse 1] Came to Pretoria in ’46 to find myself a job. Met a man with a broken arm he said: Come along with us get onto the bus. [Chorus 1] Hey Mr. Gold Man! I’m for sale! Hey Mr. Gold Man! Please don’t turn away. Hey Mr. Gold Man! Can’t you hear my tummy rumbling? [Verse 2] So we continued down the road till we got to the mine. Dirt and dust all around us now. Hey! I didn’t mind cause I’m on the workline. Oh! [Chorus 2] Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where’s my pay? Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can’t wait another day. Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can’t you see I’m almost dying? [Verse 3] Then I heard a good friend say: “There’s a happening in Town” Come and join the Union boy. ’Cause today we ain’t going down we’re gonna stand our ground. [Chorus 3] Hey Mr. Gold Man! Where’s my pay? Oh Mr. Gold Man! Won’t wait another day. Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can’t you hear the thunder coming? Ohhhhh! [Chorus 4] Hey Mr. Gold Man! Loose these chains. Time Mr. Gold Man! Change is on its way. Go Mr. Gold Man! Don’t come back this is my country now
