(D major)
(A major) (D major)
Verse 1
I was born (D major) in Saginaw (A major) (D major) Michigan
I grew (G major) up in (D major) a house on Saginaw (A major) Bay
My dad was a poor (D major) hard working
Saginaw fisherman (G major)
Too many (E minor) times (D major) he came
home (A major) with too little pay
(D major)

I loved a girl (A major) in Saginaw (D major) Michigan
The daughter (G major) of (D major) a wealthy, wealthy man (A major)
But he called (D major) me that son of
a Saginaw fisherman (G major)
And (E minor) (D major) not good enough to claim
(A major) his daughter's (D major) hand
Verse 3
Now (D major) I'm up (G major) here in Alaska
(D major) looking around (A major) for gold (D major)
Like a crazy (A major) fool I'm a digging
in this frozen (D major) ground so cold
But with (G major) each new day I pray
I'll strike (D major) it rich and then
I'll go back (A major) home and claim
my love in Saginaw (D major) Michigan
Verse 4
I wrote my love (D major) in Saginaw (A major) (D major) Michigan
I said, (G major) "Honey I'm a-coming home,
(D major) home, please wait for (A major) me
And you can tell (D major) your dad I'm
coming home a richer (G major) man
I've hit (E minor) the biggest (D major) strike
in Klondike (A major) history"
(D major)
Verse 5
Her dad met me (A major) in Saginaw (D major) Michigan
He gave (G major) me a great big (D major) party
with cham (A major) pagne
Then he said, "Son, (D major)
you wild young ambi (G major) tious man
Will (E minor) you sell (D major) your father-in-law your
your (A major) your Klondike claim"
(D major)
Verse 6
Now he's (G major) up there in Alaska
(D major) digging in the cold cold ground
The greedy (A major) fool is a-looking for
for the gold (D major) I never found
It serves (G major) him right and no one
here is missing (D major) him
Least of (A major) all the newly weds
of Saginaw (D major) Michigan
We're the happiest man and (A major) wife
in Saginaw Michigan
He's ashamed to show
his face in Saginaw (D major) Michigan
