[Eb]
We were heading on [Ab] home, Diesel and me, down an old [Eb] gravel roadway out [Bb] in the [Cm] country,
tuckered out [Eb] after work in the fields [Ab] all day.
[Eb]
[Ab] When all of a [Eb] sudden, off like a shot, that dog took off [Cm] running, barking [Bb] his head [Ab] off,
wherever he went, [Fm] he went, there was [Bb] hell to pay.
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] So lickety split, [Fm] I crashed through the fields, [Ab] chasing after [Eb] that hound, and I was hot [Bb] on
his heels, [Cm] when we both went over [Eb] the edge of a deep [Ab] ravine.
[Fm] [Eb]
[Ab] As I crawled up the bank, [Bb] cold and soaked [Eb] to the bone, a glint caught my [Cm] eye from the
mud [Bb] where it shone, [Ab] something was buried [Fm] there, alongside [Bb] the stream.
[Eb] Now the middle of a field [Bb] is a pretty odd place to [Cm] find some [Ab] kind of trunk, or a chest,
or a prey, [Db] but buried under [Ab] the earth, I saw a corner [Bb] exposed.
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] No, there wasn't a map, [Bb] or a note, or a key, [Eb] it was nearly [Ab] forgotten, [Cm] just waiting [Eb] for
me like [Fm] I was supposed to find [Ab] it, there, right under [Bb] my nose.
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [Db]
[F] [C] [F] It had laid there for years, [Gm] deep in the dirt, so I dug [F] it out and wiped my hands on [C] my shirt.
[Dm] I cried up a lid, [F] and excitedly peered [Gm] inside, [F] [Bb] and what I saw was [F] a sight to behold, cause
that tattered old trunk [Dm] was crammed full [C] of gold, [Gm] my eyes bugged out, it [F] was enough
to make a [Bb] grown man cry.
[F] [C] [F] Big golden bricks, [C] with a shimmery sheen, they [F] were a staggering sight to a poor boy
[Gm] like me, and right then and there I [Bb] knew what I had to [C] do.
[Bb] [F] With a smile I sold [C] what little [F] I had, I gave my pots and [Bb] my pans [Dm] to my mom and [C] my dad,
and [Gm] then I bought that field, [Bb] it was my dream [C] come true.

[Am] [Em] I [C] said I need that field, [D] whatever it takes, you [G] might call it foolish, [Em] but I'd call [D] it
[Am] faith.
Trusting in God so [G] gladly, you can't [C] hardly [Em] wait.
[G] [D]
[G] That's how I learned how [D] a rich fella counts, [G] his treasure [C] in heaven, [Em] not under the ground.
[G] Cause betting the farm is [D] well worth the risk, [C] to carefully keep [G] such a beautiful gift, [C] that's
yours forever, [G] it's a pretty good [D] deal.
[D] [G]
There's a couple of things more [D] precious than gold, [C] one is your heart and [G] the other's your
soul, [Am] and you got something [C] unique that nobody can [G] steal.
[D]
[G] It's a fable you see, and [D] the moral is this, [C] your heart's with your treasure wherever [D] it
is, [Am] and trust me when [C] you dig, a treasure [B] will be [Em] revealed.

[Am] And you [C] never know what could be [G] buried in the middle of a [D] field.
