    Verse 1
    I'm 
    Gold 
    Rush 
    Kate 
    from the 
    Golden 

    State 
    with 
    a nugget 
    around 
    my neck 

    keep 
    the red 
    lights 
    burning 
    bright 

    from 
    here 
    to 
    Hell 
    and 
    back 

    I've dug 
    for silver 
    and 
    for gold 

    from 
    Boulder 
    up 
    to Haines 

    When I 
    hit 
    Coloma, 
    boys, 

    I made 
    my final 
    claim 

    Verse 2
    Crossed 
    the High 
    Sierras 
    in 

    the spring 
    of 
    '48 

    And every 
    man 
    with a shovel 
    and pan 

    has stumbled 
    through 
    my 
    gate 

    Be
    hind 
    these 
    doors 
    whiskey 
    pours 

    and 
    lovin' 
    flows 
    like 
    wine 

    Miners 
    boast 
    of mother 
    lodes 

    they'll 
    dig 
    or 
    else die 
    try
    ing 

    Verse 3
    El 
    Dorado, 
    woo- hoo- 
    hoo 

    Verse 4

    They 
    come 
    from 
    far 
    and 
    wide 
    to quell 

    the fever 
    in 
    their 
    souls 

    It haunts 
    their brain, 

    they've 
    gone 
    insane 
    for the 
    glimmer 
    of 
    the gold 

    The 
    dev
    il 
    must 
    have 
    drug 
    'em 

    here 
    down 
    a one- 
    way 
    path 

    'Cause 
    when 
    you 
    hit 
    Coloma, 
    boys, 

    you 
    never 
    make 
    it 
    back 

    Verse 5
    There's 
    Redwood 
    Bill, 
    he can 
    drink 
    his fill, 

    so 
    can 
    John 
    the Rover 

    Bad 
    Luck Dave 
    is 
    in his 
    grave, 

    his gold 
    dust 
    days 
    are 
    over 

    They 
    fill 
    their pans 
    with 
    blood 
    and sand 

    and 
    call 
    to God 
    up
    stairs 

    But in 
    the golden 
    country, 
    boys, 

    the Lord 
    don't 
    hear 
    your pray
    ers 

    Verse 6
    El 
    Dorado, 
    woo- hoo- 
    hoo 


    Verse 7
    Cross 
    yourself 
    on Hangman's 
    Hill 
    if you 

    run into 
    Reno 
    Maria 

    When the sky 
    is dark, 

    she can 
    read 
    the stars 
    from Mars 
    to 
    Cassi
    opeia 

    She 
    comes 
    around 
    when the 
    sun 

    comes 
    down 
    with 
    fortunes 
    to be 
    told 

    For 
    a copper 
    penny, 

    she'll 
    tell 
    you plenty 

    Except 
    where 
    to find 
    the 
    gold 

    Verse 8
    Stay 
    away 
    from 
    Snake 
    Oil 
    Jake, 

    he'll fool 
    you with a 
    fountain 
    pen 

    One 
    look 
    in his eyes, 

    you'll be 
    hypnotized 

    He's 
    got 
    that 
    slight 
    of hand 

    He's sleek 
    and fat 
    like 
    an old 
    tom 
    cat, 

    they 
    say he 
    has 
    nine 
    lives 

    Snake 
    Oil 
    Jake 
    sure met 
    his fate 

    when they shot 
    him down 
    ten 
    times 

    Verse 9
    Don't 
    stake 
    your claim 

    with the 
    Dogtown 
    Gang 

    Or the 
    boys 
    from 
    Rough 
    and Ready 

    Don't 
    thumb 
    your nose 

    at the Sydney 
    Cove 

    'Cause the 
    hammer 
    comes 
    down 
    heavy 

    On 
    every 
    jack 
    who tries 
    to hack 

    his 
    way 
    to fortune 
    fair 

    And 
    comes 
    to find 
    he's 
    last 

    in line 
    to 
    be 
    a million
    aire 

    Verse 10
    El 
    Dorado, 
    woo- hoo- hoo 

    El 
    Dorado, 
    city 
    of gold, 
    city 
    of 
    fools 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 11
    Heard 
    the news 
    from Siskiyou, 

    the rush 
    is 
    moving 
    on 

    Leaving 
    old 
    Coloma 
    boys 
    and 

    bound 
    for 
    Ore
    gon 

    Here 
    in 
    town 
    the tailing 
    piles 

    have all 
    gone 
    to rust

    day 
    you boom, 
    but 
    pretty 
    soon, 

    your 
    booming 
    days 
    are 
    bust 

    Verse 12
    So 
    now 
    I sweep 
    the 
    empty 
    streets 

    and 
    boarded 
    up 
    saloon 

    Seen 
    'em 
    fade 
    from 
    golden 
    days 

    to ghost 
    towns 
    left 
    to ruin 

    Was it 
    worth 
    the blood 
    and dirt 

    to 
    dig 
    our 
    lives 
    away? 

    But 
    life 
    goes 
    quick, 

    so come 
    get 
    rich 
    in 
    Californ- I-

    Dorado, 
    woo- hoo- hoo 

    El 
    Dorado, 
    city 
    of gold, 
    city 
    of 
    fools 

    Has 
    the fever 
    got 
    a hold 
    on 
    you? 

    Verse 14

    I've 
    seen 
    it, all 
    the rise 
    and 
    fall, 

    and 
    now 
    I take 
    my 
    rest 

    I'm 
    Gold 
    Rush Kate 
    from the

    the last 
    one 
    left

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
