Tonart: B minor•
Verse 1
Bm
I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden
State with a nugget around my neck
I keep the red lights burning bright
from here to Hell and back
D
I've dug for silver and for gold
E
A
Bm
from Boulder up to Haines
When I hit Coloma, boys,
A
Bm
I made my final claim
Verse 2
Bm
Crossed the High Sierras in
the spring of '48
And every man with a shovel and pan
has stumbled through my gate
D
Behind these doors whiskey pours
A
E
and lovin' flows like wine
Bm
Miners boast of mother lodes
A
Bm
they'll dig or else die trying
Verse 3
G
Bm
El Dorado, woo- hoo- hoo
A
Bm
Verse 4
A
Bm
They come from far and wide to quell
E
Bm
the fever in their souls
It haunts their brain,
E
Bm
they've gone insane for the glimmer of the gold
D
The devil must have drug 'em
A
E
here down a one- way path
Bm
'Cause when you hit Coloma, boys,
A
Bm
you never make it back
Verse 5
Bm
There's Redwood Bill, he can drink his fill,
E
Bm
so can John the Rover
Bad Luck Dave is in his grave,
E
Bm
his gold dust days are over
D
They fill their pans with blood and sand
A
E
and call to God upstairs
Bm
But in the golden country, boys,
A
Bm
the Lord don't hear your prayers
Verse 6
G
Bm
El Dorado, woo- hoo- hoo
A
Bm
F#m
Verse 7
Bm
Cross yourself on Hangman's Hill if you
E
Bm
run into Reno Maria
When the sky is dark,
E
Bm
she can read the stars from Mars to Cassiopeia
D
She comes around when the sun
A
E
comes down with fortunes to be told
she'll tell you plenty
A
Bm
Except where to find the gold
Verse 8
Bm
Stay away from Snake Oil Jake,
E
Bm
he'll fool you with a fountain pen
One look in his eyes,
you'll be hypnotized
E
Bm
He's got that slight of hand
D
He's sleek and fat like an old tom cat,
A
E
Bm
E
they say he has nine lives
Bm
Snake Oil Jake sure met his fate
A
Bm
when they shot him down ten times
Verse 9
Bm
Don't stake your claim
with the Dogtown Gang
E
Bm
Or the boys from Rough and Ready
Don't thumb your nose
at the Sydney Cove
E
Bm
'Cause the hammer comes down heavy
D
On every jack who tries to hack
A
E
his way to fortune fair
Bm
And comes to find he's last
A
Bm
in line to be a millionaire
Verse 10
G
Bm
El Dorado, woo- hoo- hoo
G

El Dorado, city of gold, city of fools

Verse 11
Bm
Heard the news from Siskiyou,
E
Bm
the rush is moving on
Leaving old Coloma boys and
E
Bm
bound for Oregon
D
Here in town the tailing piles
A
E
have all gone to rust
Bm
One day you boom, but pretty soon,
A
Bm
F#m
your booming days are bust
Verse 12
Bm
So now I sweep the empty streets
and boarded up saloon
Seen 'em fade from golden days
to ghost towns left to ruin
D
Was it worth the blood and dirt
A
E
to dig our lives away?
Bm
But life goes quick,
F#m
Bm
so come get rich in Californ- I- A

D
I've seen it, all the rise and fall,
A
E
and now I take my rest
Bm
I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden
A
State and I'm the last one left
