[Bb] [Cm] [F] [Bb]
I was born [F] in [Bb] Saginaw, Michigan.
[Eb] I grew up [Bb] in a house in [F] Saginaw Bay.
[Bb] My dad was a poor, hard-working [Eb] Saginaw fisherman.
Too [Bb] many times he [F] came home with too [Bb] little pay.
I loved a girl [F] in [Bb] Saginaw, Michigan.
[Eb] The daughter [Gm] of a wealthy, [F] wealthy man.
But [Bb] he called me that son of a [Eb] Saginaw fisherman.
And not [Bb] good enough [F] to claim his [Bb] daughter's hand.
Now [Eb] I'm up here in Alaska [Bb] looking around for gold.
[F] Like a crazy fool I'm a-digging [Bb] in this frozen grounds of hope.
[Eb] But with each new day I pray I'm [Bb] striked dead rich and thin.
I'll [F] go back home and claim my love in [Bb] Saginaw, Michigan.
I wrote my love [F] in [Bb] Saginaw, Michigan.
[Eb] I said, honey, I'm [Bb] coming home, please [F] wait for [Cm] me.
And you can [Bb] tell your dad I'm coming [Eb] back a richer man.
I [Bb] hit the biggest [F] rack in Klondike [Bb] history.
Her dad met me [F] in [Bb] Saginaw, Michigan.
[Eb] He gave me a [Bb] great big party with [F] champagne.
Then [Bb] he said, son, you're a wise, [Eb] young, ambitious man.
[Bb] Will you sell your [F] father in a lawyer, a [Bb] Klondike line?
[Eb] Now he's up there in Alaska [Bb] digging in a cold, cold ground.
[F] The greedy fool is looking [Bb] for the gold he never found.
[Eb] It serves him right and no one here [Bb] is missing him.
Least [F] of all the newlyweds [Bb] of Saginaw, Michigan.
For the [F] happiest man and wife in [Bb] Saginaw, Michigan.
[F] [Bb]
