In [Cm] the spring _ [Ab] _
of _ [Eb] 47, _ _ _ _ so [Cm] the _ _ _ [Ab] _
story it [Eb] is told, _ _ _
Old [Cm] John Sutter _ _ [Ab] _
went to [Eb] the mill [Bb] site,
_ [Cm] _ _
Found [Fm] a _ _ _ [Bb] _
piece of [Eb] shining gold. _ _ _ _
Well, [Cm] he took it _ [Ab] to _ [Eb] the city, _ _ _
Where [Cm] the _ [Gm] _ [Ab] word like [Eb] wildfire spread. _ _ _ _
Old [Cm] John Sutter _ _ [Ab] _
soon [Eb] came to wish [Bb] he
_ [Cm] _ _
Left [Fm] that stone _ [Bb] _
in the river [C] [Cm] bed.
_ For _ _ [Ab] there _ came _ like [Eb] herculean _ _ locusts _
_ Every _ _ _ woman, child, [Cm] and man. _ _ _
In [Ab] their _ _ _ _ lumbering [Eb] corner [Bb] stogas,
_ [Cm] _
They left [Fm] their _ _ [Bb] tracks _ _ [Cm] upon the land. _ _ _ _
Some [Ab] would beg, _ _ [F] and some [Eb] would prosper, _ _ _ _
Some [Ab] would [F] die, _ [Eb] _
[Gm] and some [Cm] would kill. _ _ _ _
Some [Ab] would _ _ thank the Lord for [Eb] their _ [Bb] deliverance,
[Cm] _ _
Some [Fm] would _ _ [Bb] curse John [Eb] Sutter's mill. _ _ _ _
Well, [Cm] they came _ [Ab] from New [Eb] York City, _ _ _ _
And [Cm] they _ came [Ab] _ _
from [Eb] _ Alabama, _ _ _
With [Cm] their _ _ _ [Ab] _
dreams of [Eb] finding fortune
_ [Cm] _
In this _ _ [Bb] wild, _ _ [Eb] unsettled land. _ _
Well, some [Cm] fell prey _ [Ab] _ _
to [Eb] hostile arrows _ _ _
As [Cm] they tried _ [Ab] _
to [Eb] cross the plain, _ _ _ _
And some [Cm] were _ _ _ [Ab] lost in the [Eb] rocky [Bb] mountains
[Cm] _ _
With their _ _ _ [Bb] hands frozen [Cm] to the rain. _ _
Oh, some [Ab] would beg, _ _ and some [Eb] would prosper, _ _ _
Some [Ab] would _ die, [Eb] _
and some [Cm] would kill. _ _ _ _
Some [Ab] would _ _ thank the Lord for [Eb] their _ deliverance,
[Cm] _ _
Some would _ _ _ [Bb] curse John [Eb] Sutter's mill. _ _ _ _

Well, _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
some [Cm] pushed _ on [Ab] _
to _ [Eb] California, _ _ _
And [Cm] others _ stopped [Ab] _ _
to take [Eb] their rest. _ _ _
[Gm] And by the [Cm] spring _ _ [Ab] _ _
of _ [Eb] 1860,
_ [Cm] _ _
Well, [Cm] they had _ _ _ [Bb] opened [Eb] up the west. _ _ _ _
And then [Cm] the _ _ _ [Ab] _ railroad [Eb] came behind them, _ _
And [Cm] the _ _ _ [Ab] land was [Eb] plowed and tamed.
_ _ When old [Cm] John Sutter _ [Ab] _ went to [Eb] meet his neighbor,
_ _ [Cm] _ He'd not want to _ _ [Bb] pay any [Cm] dues.
_ _ _ _ Oh, some [Ab] would beg, _ _ _ and some [Eb] would prosper, _ _ _
Some [Ab] would die, _ [Eb] _ and some [Cm] would kill. _ _ _ _
Some [Ab] would _ thank the Lord for their [Eb] _ _ deliverance, _ _
Some [Cm] would _ _ [Bb] curse John _ [Eb] Sutter's mill.
_ _ [Cm] _ Some [Fm] would [Ab] _ _ [Bb] curse John _
[Eb] Sutter's [Bb] mill.

Some men's _ _ [Bb] thirds are never [Eb] filled. _ _ _ _ _ _
