[Bb] Two partners went in search of gold, as friendly as could be.
[Gm] [Bb] One was young and one was old, and the gay young fool was mean.
[G] Since neither one could write his [C] name, we swore [F] upon our souls [Bb] to share the wealth,
[Eb] and then shook hands, [Bb] the hands that [Gm] dug for gold.
Gold!
Gold!
The summer [Bb] days were gone at last, and winter nights grew cold.
[Gm] The snow had [Bb] trapped us in the past when we finally [C] found the gold.
[Gm] [F] We took our [Bb] fortune to the shack [C] to wait the winter through,
but the food ran low, so [Eb] I killed my friend.
[Bb] What else was there to do?
[Gm] Ah!
Partner!
[Bb] I threw his [Dm] body just [Bb] outside into the bitter cold.
[Gm] Somehow I [Bb] had to stay alive, I now had all the gold.
[Gm] [G] But the howling [Bb] wind just seemed to say,
You have [G] killed a man, and you'll never get to spend [Eb] the gold.
[Bb] With blood upon your [Gm] hands.
Gold!
Partner!
The [C] cabin's covered now with [Bb] snow, and shelves of food are bare.
[Gm] Satan's [D] waiting for me now, and I'm too cold to care.
[Gm] [F] Is that the [Bb] devil at the [C] door coming for my [Bb] soul,
or is it just [Eb] the old man [Bb] looking for his gold?
[Gm] Ah!
Partner!
