[Verse 1]
                   C           G
Well I sought gold and diamond rings
                                        C
My own drug to ease the pain that living brings
                G        C             G
Walked from the mountain to the valley floor
D                G/B         C
Searching for my beautiful reward
D                G/B         C
Searching for my beautiful reward


[Verse 2]
                  G    C              G
From a house on a hill a sacred light shines
                     Em                         C
I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine
           G        C                   G
Down empty hallways I went from door to door
D                G/B         C
Searching for my beautiful reward
D                G/B         C     G
Searching for my beautiful reward


[Bridge]
               C            G
Well your hair shone in the sun
                              C
I was so high I was the lucky one
            G                    C                  G
Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor
D                G/B         C
Searching for my beautiful reward
D                G/B         C     G
Searching for my beautiful reward


[Verse 3]
                       C               G
Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back
                                                      C
I'm flyin' high over gray fields my feathers long and black
               G       C             G
Down along the river's silent edge I soar
D                G/B         C
Searching for my beautiful reward
D                G/B         C
Searching for my beautiful reward
D                G/B         C
Searching for my beautiful reward
D                G/B         C      G
Searching for my beautiful reward
