Verse 1
Dapper (D major) Dan
was a (G major) gamblin' man
A slick (D major) car dealer in the (A major) Birmingham
He got (D major) into trouble and he (G major) left on the run
For (A major) Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (D major)
In (G major) Saskatoon the (D major) gold ran free
And (A major) Dan says here's
where a (D major) man should be
In a year I'll be the (G major) richest one
In (A major) Saskatoon, Saskat (D major) chewan
Saska (A major) toon, Saskat (D major) chewan
He started foolin' round
with a (G major) gal named Lil
And (D major) very soon Lil was his (A major) steady gal
He (D major) took her away from Smil (G major) in' Sam
The (A major) roughest man in the (D major) mighty tough land
But Sam (G major) was gone a (D major) -workin' his claim
Think (A major) in' that soon he'd
change (D major) her name
When he filled his poke, he left (G major) on the run
For (A major) Saskatoon, Saskat (D major) chewan
Saska (A major) toon, Saskat (D major) chewan
When Sam found out what was (G major) goin' on
He sharpened (D major) his blade and
he (A major) oiled his gun
Vowed (D major) the gambling trade
would be (G major) minus one
In (A major) Saskatoon, Saskat (D major) chewan
He barged (G major) through the door
of the (D major) gambling hall
Where (A major) Dapper Dan sat with
his (D major) back to the wall
Three shots rang out, three (G major) bodies fell
Dan (A major) and Sam and a (D major) woman named Lil
Dan (A major) and Sam and a (D major) woman named Lil
Now (G major) Dan and Sam
and a (D major) woman named Lil
Have a (A major) brand new home
on the (D major) side of the hill
And gambling and mining
and life (G major) goes on
In (A major) Saskatoon, Saskat (D major) chewan
Saska (A major) toon, Saskat (D major) chewan
Saska (A major) toon, Saskatchewan
(D major) (A major)
