[Bb]
[C] [F] [Dm] There's a girl living high in the [F] city, and she's living [C] in luxury [F] untold.
[Dm] How I fell for her line was [F] a pity, now she's living [C] on my [F] California gold.
[C] Just last week I think she bought [F] a mansion and [C] a coonskin coat to [F] keep out the cold.
And unless [Bb] I'm sadly [F] mistaken, she bought it with [C] my California [F] gold.

[C] [F] In a room by [Bb] her cozy [F] little fireside, there I whiled [C] many hours [F] so bold.
And it didn't take [Bb] her long with [F] her kisses to set me free [C] from my California [F] gold.
[C] We would sit there [C] at night on [F] her sofa while [C]
we many sad tales did [F] unfold.
Every word that [Bb] she spoke cost [F] me money, and I paid it with [C] my California [F] gold.

[C] [F]
And tis now [Bb] I am back in [F] the mountains with [C] my pick and my shovel [F] in my hand.
By this song you shall know what I'm [F] doing, oh I'm warning, [C] yes I'm warning [F] every man.
[D] There is [C] frost on my face this fair [F] morning, [C] and my little old log cabin [F] is so cold.
I would be [Bb] quite a wealthy man this [F] morning if I'd only [C] kept my [F] California gold.
Listen [Bb]

[C] [F]
[C] close all you men with your [F]
fortunes, [C] watch your step keep your [F] money at home.
Lest you lose every [Bb] cent of [F] your bankroll, just [C] as I lost my [F] California gold.
