Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
It (D major) was up in Dawson City
in the fall (G major) of 92, (A major) (D major)
there was Dan and Sam, Billy, Joe,
and a (E major) thousand more like you. (A major)
You could hear (D major) them every morning
softly curs (G major) ing in (A major) the cold
(D major) for the (G major) greed inside their
blackened hearts
that (A major) made him search for gold. (D major)
Now, the story goes to tell
how in the fall (G major) of 93, (A major) (D major)
old Dan and Sam and Billy Joe
found a (E major) mother loaded suit. (A major)
But it's a (D major) long, long way from Dawson
to the com (G major) forts (A major) of the South. (D major)
And old (G major) Dan got whiskey in the bar,
started run (A major) ning at the mouth. (D major)
There were many (C major) men who went north
in that fall (G major) of 92
Searching (C major) for the yellow devil,
good men (G major) like me and you (D major)
Yes, (C major) some were young, some were old,
not many (G major) lived to tell (C major)
Of their stay (G major) in Dawson City
and (D major) how close they lived to (G major) hell
There were (D major) many in Dawson City
didn't give (G major) a dam (A major) n for life (D major)
And it wasn't long before old Dan
was look (E major) ing down a knife (A major)
Then they took (D major) him up the road a piece
and (G major) made him tell (A major) him where
(D major) Young Billy (G major) Joe and Sam
and all that gold (A major) was hid out there (D major) (B flat major)
Now, tell (E flat major) this story quickly
was that same (A flat major) dark, (B flat major) evil night
(E flat major) That the renegades from Kelly's
killed both (F major) Sam and Dan, all right (B flat major)
But young Billy (E flat major) Joe
made off
with all the gold (A flat major) and noth (B flat major) ing else (E flat major)
Just a (A flat major) thousand miles of barren land,
alone (B flat major) all by himsel (E flat major) f
Yes, the sourdough from the traplines
in the spring (A flat major) of 94 (B flat major) (E flat major)
Arrived in Dawson City
with a corpse, (F major) not much more (B flat major)
Told of how (E flat major) he'd found him
frozen on the bank (A flat major) s of
Yel (B flat major) low Creek (E flat major)
Without (A flat major) the pack of gold dust
that had fi (B flat major) nally made him weak (E flat major)
There were many (D flat major) men who went north
in that fall (A flat major) of 92
Searching (D flat major) for the yellow devil,
good men (A flat major) like me and you (E flat major)
Yes, (D flat major) some were young, some were old,
not many (A flat major) lived to tell (D flat major)
Of their stay (A flat major) in Dawson City
and how close (E flat major) they lived to (A flat major) hell (E flat major)
It was up in Dawson City
in the fall (A flat major) of (B flat major) 92. (E flat major)
There was Dennis M. and Billy Joe
and a (F major) thousand more like (B flat major) you.
You could hear them (E flat major) every morning,
soft and cursing in the cold.
For the greed inside their blackened hearts...
