Chords for Rudy Gaddis - Uranium Fever

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ From the California mountains into New Mexico, _ _ _
Across the [Am] state of Arizona where the Gila River flows,
_ _ In the mountains down in Texas [A] all along the Rio Grande, _ _ _
From Mohawk, Colorado out [E] across the Utah [A] sand,
_ _ _ They are searching every mountain, they are turning every stone, _ _
_ The strangest band of hunters that the [Am] West has ever known,
_ _ While they trot across [A] the desert as if guided by a star, _
_ They are searching, ever searching, oh what are they searching for? _ _ _ _
While this uranium fever's eyes got them on the go,
How they stand their place is [E] something I will never know,
But they go right on a searching job hoping they will find,
Hidden [B] far off in the mountains are a rich [A] uranium mine, _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
They camp out on the desert and they're up [Am] before the sun,
_ _ _ They hunt with Geiger counters instead of with a gun, _ _
_ They're not bothered [A] by the weather while they're always on the go,
_ _ _ They don't seem to mind the desert sun or the winter snow,
_ _ _ They may never find this track but hope is always there, _ _ _
Far deep inside these ones wish to be a millionaire,
[Am] _
_ _ _ It's not silver they are seeking, it's not gold of any kind, _ _ _
They're not searching through the mountains for the old [E] lost Dutchman [A] mine, _ _ _ _ _
While this uranium _ fever's eyes got them on the go,
How they stand their place is [E] something I will never know,
[A] But they go right on a searching job hoping they will find,
[E] Hidden far off in the mountains are a rich uranium [Am] mine, _ _ _ _ _ _
