(A minor)
Verse 1
I'm Gold Rush Kate from the (A minor) Golden
State with a nugget around my neck
I keep the red lights burning bright
from here to Hell and back
I've dug (C major) for silver and for gold
from (D major) Boulder up (G major) to Haines (A minor)
When I hit Coloma, boys,
I made (G major) my final (A minor) claim

Verse 2
(A minor) Crossed the High Sierras in
the spring of '48
And every man with a shovel and pan
has stumbled through my gate
Be (C major) hind these doors whiskey pours
and (G major) lovin' flows like (D major) wine
(A minor) Miners boast of mother lodes
they'll (G major) dig or else die try (A minor) ing
Verse 3
El Dorado, (F major) woo- hoo- (A minor) hoo
(G major) (A minor)
Verse 4
(G major) (A minor)
They come from far and wide to quell
the fever (D major) in their souls (A minor)
It haunts their brain,
they've gone insane for the (D major) glimmer of the gold (A minor)
The dev (C major) il must have drug 'em
here (G major) down a one- way (D major) path
'Cause (A minor) when you hit Coloma, boys,
you (G major) never make it (A minor) back
Verse 5
There's (A minor) Redwood Bill, he can drink his fill,
so (D major) can John the Rover (A minor)
Bad Luck Dave is in his grave,
his gold (D major) dust days are (A minor) over
(C major) They fill their pans with blood and sand
and (G major) call to God up (D major) stairs
(A minor) But in the golden country, boys,
the Lord (G major) don't hear your pray (A minor) ers
Verse 6
El Dorado, (F major) woo- hoo- (A minor) hoo
(G major) (A minor) (E minor)
Verse 7
(A minor) Cross yourself on Hangman's Hill if you
(D major) run into Reno Maria (A minor)
When the sky is dark,
she can read the stars from Mars (D major) to Cassi (A minor) opeia
(C major) She comes around when the sun
comes down with (G major) fortunes to be told (D major)
For (A minor) a copper penny,
she'll tell you plenty
Except (G major) where to find the (A minor) gold
Verse 8
(A minor) Stay away from Snake Oil Jake,
he'll fool (D major) you with a fountain (A minor) pen
One look in his eyes,
you'll be hypnotized
He's (D major) got that slight of hand (A minor)
(C major) He's sleek and fat like an old tom cat,
they (G major) say he has nine (D major) lives (A minor) (D major)
Snake (A minor) Oil Jake sure met his fate
when they shot (G major) him down ten (A minor) times
Verse 9
Don't (A minor) stake your claim
with the Dogtown Gang
Or the (D major) boys from Rough and Ready (A minor)
Don't thumb your nose
at the Sydney Cove
'Cause the (D major) hammer comes down (A minor) heavy
On (C major) every jack who tries to hack
his (G major) way to fortune (D major) fair
And (A minor) comes to find he's last
in line to (G major) be a million (A minor) aire
Verse 10
El Dorado, (F major) woo- hoo- hoo (A minor)
El Dorado, (F major) city (C major) of gold, city of (E major) fools

Verse 11
(A minor) Heard the news from Siskiyou,
the rush (D major) is moving (A minor) on
Leaving old Coloma boys and
(D major) bound for Ore (A minor) gon
(C major) Here in town the tailing piles
(G major) have all gone to rust (D major)
(A minor) One day you boom, but pretty soon,
your (G major) booming days are (A minor) bust (E minor)
Verse 12
So (A minor) now I sweep the empty streets
and boarded up saloon
Seen 'em fade from golden days
to ghost towns left to ruin
(C major) Was it worth the blood and dirt
to (G major) dig our lives (D major) away?
But (A minor) life goes quick,
so come get rich in (E minor) Californ- I- (A minor) A
Verse 13
El Dorado, (F major) woo- hoo- hoo (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
El Dorado, (F major) city (C major) of gold, city (A minor) of (E major) fools
Has the fever got a hold on you?
(A minor)
Verse 14
I've seen (C major) it, all the rise and fall,
and now I take (G major) my (D major) rest
I'm (A minor) Gold Rush Kate from the Golden
State and (G major) I'm the last one left
