INTRO:
C Am F C Am F C Am F C ~ Am Dm G C
C Am F C
In the spring of forty-seven
Am F C
So the story it is told
Am F C ~ Am
Old John Sutter went to the mill site
Dm G C
Found a piece of shining gold
Am F C
Well, he took it to the city
Am F C
Where the word like wildfire spread
Am F C ~ Am
Old John Sutter soon came to wishing
Dm G Am
He'd left that stone in the river bed
F C
Oh, they came like herds of locusts
F C Am
Every woman, child and man
F C Am
In their lumbering Conestogas
Dm G Am
They left their track upon the land
CHORUS:
F C
Some would fail and some would prosper
F C Am
Some would die and some would kill
F C Am
Some would beg the Lord for their deliverance
Dm G C
Some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Am F C
Well, they came from New York City
Am F C
And they came from Alabam'
Am F C ~ Am
With their dream of finding fortune
Dm G C
In this wild unsettled land
Am F C
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
Am F C
As they tried to cross the land
Am F C ~ Am
And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains
Dm G Am
With their hands froze to the reins
CHORUS:
F C
Some would fail and some would prosper
F C Am
Some would die and some would kill
F C ~ Am
Some would beg the Lord for their deliverance
Dm G C
Some would curse John Sutter's Mill
INSTRUMENTAL:
C Am F C Am F C Am F C ~ Am Dm G C
Am F C
Some pushed on to California
Am F C
Others stopped to take their rest
Am F C ~ Am
And by the spring of eighteen-sixty
Dm G C
They had opened up the west
Am F C
And then the railroad came behind them
Am F C
And the land was ploughed and tamed
Am F C ~ Am
When old John Sutter went to meet his maker
Dm G Am
With not one penny to his name
CHORUS:
F C
Some would fail and some would prosper
F C Am
Some would die and some would kill
F C ~ Am
Some would beg the Lord for their deliverance
Dm G C
Some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Dm G C ~ Am
Some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Dm G C
Some men's thirsts are never filled
OUTRO:
C Am F C Am F C Am F C ~ Am Dm G C
