CAPO: 3rd Fret

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
