Verse 1
(C major) I've traveled all over this country,
prospecting and digging for (A minor) gold.
I've (C major) tunneled, hydraulic, and cradled,
and I have been frequently sold.
And I have been frequently sold, (F major)
(C major) and I have been frequently
sold. (A minor) (C major) (F major) (C major) (A minor)
(C major) For one that gets riches by mining,
perceiving that hundreds (A minor) grow poor,
I (C major) made up my mind to try farming,
the only pursuit that is sure.
The only pursuit that is sure.
(F major) The (C major) only pursuit that is (A minor) sure.
I (C major) made up my mind to try farming,
(F major) the (C major) only pursuit that is sure.
So rolling my grub in my blanket,
I left all my tools on (A minor) the ground.
I (C major) started one morning to shank it
For a country they call (G major) Puget (C major) Sound
For a country they call (A minor) Puget (C major) Sound
(F major) For (C major) a they call Puget (A minor) Sound
I (C major) started one morning to shank it
For (F major) a (C major) country they call Puget Sound
Arriving flat broke in midwinter
I found it enveloped in fog
(A minor) And (C major) covered all over with timber
Thickest hair on the back of a dog
Thickest hair on the back of (A minor) a (C major) dog
Thickest hair on the back of a (A minor) dog
And covered (C major) all over with timber
Thickest hair on the back of a dog
I staked out a claim in the forest
And set myself down to hard (A minor) toil soil.
For (C major) two years, I chopped and I lagered,
but I never got down to the soil.
But I never got down to the soil.
I never got down to the (A minor) soil.
For (C major) two years, I chopped and I lagered,
(A minor) but I never (C major) got down to the soil.
No longer the slave of ambition,
I laugh at the world and it (A minor) shams.
(G major) I think of (C major) my happy condition,
sur (F major) roun (C major) ded by acres of clams.
Surrounded by acres of clams. (F major)
(C major) Surrounded by acres of (A minor) clams.
I (C major) think of my happy condition,
surroun (F major) (C major) ded by acres of (C major) clams.
