Let me tell you about Mosquitoville,

a general  store
G 
Bm 
G 
Several hundred diggers, maybe  more
C 
In lean -to's and tents
D 
on the banks of the river
C 
Some panned the top,
G 
some tunneled down
Am 
Dsus4 
One nugget weighed 11 pounds
C 
G 
It even had a Chinatown
Am 
Dsus4 
Mosquitoville in its day
D 
C 
Before the big wet came
Dsus4

And washed it all away
Let me tell you about Mosquitoville
Bm 
G 
C 
On the western side of the great divide
Dsus4

G 
Near broken   falls  and the wall of water
No one saw,
C 
D 
except for the few who survived
C 
G 
Unfortunately, at the time
Am

Most were in the belly of the mine
C

And didn't get any warning sign

Mosquitoville, how many drown

Nobody knows the day

the big web took the town

The time was right, in someone's view

With technology and commodity price

For a massive new mine
on the old town site
D 
C 
G 
Considering what was at stake
Am 
The huge investment they
G 
needed to make
C 
They built a mighty levee that

couldn't break

Mosquito hill, they claim
