Verse: 
C 
Well, I don't know, but I've been told 
                    G7 
Uranium ore's worth more than gold 
C               F     
Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep 
     G7               C 
I've got that bug and I can't sleep 

 
 C                F               C 
Uranium fever has done and got me down 
 C               G7 
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around 
       C 
With a Geiger counter in my hand 
      F                          G7 
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land 
C        Am        G7              C 
 Uranium fever has done and got me down 


verse 2: 
C 
Well I had talk with the AEC*  
                                           G7 
And they brought out some maps that looked good to me 
        C                        F  
And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed 
     G7                           C 
So I straddled my Jeep and headed down the road 
C  
I reckon I drove about 100 miles 
                      G7 
Down a bumpy road out through the wilds 
     C               F 
When all of sudden I bounced to a stop  
       G7                         C              
At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top 


Chorus 


verse 3: 
       C 
Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb 
                            G7 
Right up to the top where I thought I'd find 
  C                 F 
A hunk of rock that would make it click 
     G7                  C 
Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick 
       C 
On the second day, I made the top 
                                  G7 
And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop 
    C                    F 
The only clickin' that I heard that day 
        G7                        C 
Was the bones in my back that had gone astray 


Chorus


verse 4: 
          C 
Well, you pack up your things 

You head out again  
                             G7 
Into some unknown spot where nobody's been 
    C                         F 
You reach the spot where your fortune lies.... 
    G7                       C                   C 
You find it's been staked by 17 other guys....   
      C 
Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit 
                              G7 
That bug's done caught me and I've been bit 
          C                    F 
So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand 
          G7                    C 
I'll keep right on stakin' that government land 


Chorus
