[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden State with a nugget around my neck.
Keep the red lights burning bright from here to [D] hell and back.
I've dug for silver [A] and for gold from Boulder [E] up to [A] [Bm] Hades.
But when I hit Coloma, [F#m] boys, I made my [Bm] final claim. _ _ _
Crossed the high Sierras in the spring of 48.
And every man with a shovel and pan has stumbled through my [D] gates.
Behind these doors, whiskey [A]
pours and lovin' [E] flows like _ [F#m] wine.
[Bm] _
Miners boast, mother [A] loathes, they'll dig or else [Bm] die trying.

_ They've come from far and white, well, [E] the fever in their [D] souls.
Piles of rain, they've gone [E] insane to the glimmer [D] of the gold.
The devil must have drug them [A] here down a one [E]-way path.
_ [F#m] _ [Bm] When you hit Coloma, [A] boys, you'll never [Bm] make it back.
_ _ _ There's Redwoodville in Katricksville, soaking John the Rover.
The madlet dave is in [F#m] his grave, his [E] gold dust [D] days are over.
We'll fill the pans with blood and [A] sand, we'll call to God [E] upstairs.
_ [A] _ [Bm] But in the golden [F#m] country, boys, the Lord won't hear your [D] prayers.
_ [G] Elder of! _ _ _ _

Cross _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
yourself on Hangman's Hill if you're running to Reno, Maria.
When the sky's dark, she can read [F#m] the stars from Mars to [D] Cassiopeia.
She comes around when [F#m] the sun comes down with fortunes [E] to be told.
_ [Bm] For a copper penny, she'll tell you [F#m] plenties of where to find [D] the gold.
_ _ [Bm] Stay away from Snake, old [E] Jake, fool you with a fountain [D] pen.
One look in his eyes, he'll be [E] hypnotized, he's got that [D] sleight of hand.
Sleek and proud like an old-time [A] cat, say he [E] has nine _ lives.
[F#m] _ [Bm] Snake, old Jake, sure met his fate [A] when he shot the [D] downed man of time. _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ Snake reclaimed with the Dogtown [E] Gang, with the boys from [Bm] Rough and Ready.
Drunk on the nose of Sidney Cole, because the hammer comes down heavy.
[D]
On every jack he tries to [A] hang, his way to fortune [E] _
fair.
_ [F#m] [Bm] When he comes to [D] find he's last in [A] line to be [D] a millionaire.

Heard the news from [E] Siskiyou, the rush is [Bm] moving on.
Leaving Oklahoma, [E] boys, and bound [D] for Oregon.
_ Here in town, the [A] tailing piles have all gone [E] to rust.
_ _ [D] One day, boom, but pretty soon, [A] you'll prove the days [D] are bust. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] So now I sweep the empty streets and boarded up some looms.
Seen them fade from golden days to ghost towns left to [D] ruin.
Was it worth the blood [A] and dirt to dig up the ruins?
Take our [E] lives _ away.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ Life goes quick, so come get [A] rich in California.

Ask me for God to hold [Bm] on you.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [D] I've seen it all, the rise and [A] fall, now take my rest.
[Bm] I'm Gold Rush Jake from the Golden [C#m] State, and I'm the [Bm] last one left. _
