Verse
G# Fm C# G#
In the spring of forty- seven
Fm C# G#
So the story it is told
Fm C# G# G# Fm
Old John Sutter went to the Mill site
A#m7 D#7 G#
Found a piece of shinin' gold.
Fm C# G#
Well, he took it to the city
Fm C# G#
Where the word like wildfire spread
Fm C# G# Fm
Old John Sutter soon came to wishin'
A#m7 D#7 Fm7
He'd left that stone in the river bed.
C# G#
Oh, they came like herds of locusts
C# G# Fm
Every wo-man, child and man
C# G# Fm
In their lumberin' connes- togas
A#m7 D#7 Fm
They left their track upon the land.
[Refrain]
C# G#
Some would fail and some would prosper
C# G# Fm
Some would die and some would kill
C# G# Fm
Some would beg the Lord for their de-liverance
A#m7 D#7 G#
Some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
Fm C# G#
Well, they came from New York City
Fm C# G#
And they came from Ala-bam'
Fm C# G# Fm
With their dream of findin' for-tune
A#m7 D#7 G#
In this wild unsettled land.
[Verse]
Fm C# G#
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
Fm C# G#
As they tried to cross the land
Fm C# G# Fm
And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains
A#m7 D#7 Fm
With their hands froze to the reins.
[Refrain] (x2)

Some would fail and some would prosper
C# G# Fm
Some would die and some would kill
C# G# Fm
Some would beg the Lord for their de-liverance
A#m7 D#7 G#
Some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
Fm C# G#
Well, they came from New York City
Fm C# G#
And they came from Ala-bam'
Fm C# G# Fm
With their dream of findin' for-tune
A#m7 D#7 G#
In this wild unsettled land.
