About the Song

This song was recorded in 1971 and released in 1972 on his "Harvest" LP. It is his only song to date to reach #1 on US charts. 

I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

C F G C / Am F G C (2x) //: Am - C  - / F -  - C ://

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line

(tag) Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching & I'm growing old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
