Tuning: DADDAD (from high to low, or low to high, as you want!)
so here's the chords for this song:
D A D D A D
F 3 3 3 3 3 3
G 5 5 5 5 5 5
D XII 121212121212
A 7 7 7 7 7 7
G
you look like gold to me
F
and I'm not to blind to see
D
you look like gold
you make me want to say
with all the joy you bring
you look like gold
Like the rays down from the sun
when a new day has just begun
you look like gold
A F
I've been fooled before
A G
but now I know
A F
I've made the mistake in the past
A G
but now I know the difference
A D
from gold and brass
not the kind of gold that you wear
but the kind that can feel my care
you look like gold
some shine when the day is new
but fade when the day is through
but you look like gold
I've been wrong before
but now I know
I've made mistakes in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass
solo:
(You really need to play on an high action guitar with heavy strings
in order to avoid pull-of buzzes with the slide...)

you look like gold
and I just want you to know
to me you mean so much more
than all the gold
you look like gold
