^CIn the ^Amspring^F of forty- ^Cseven So the ^Amstory^F it is ^Ctold Old John ^AmSutter^F went to the Mill ^Csite ^Am Found a ^Dm7piece^G7 of shinin' ^Cgold.

Well, he ^Amtook it^F to the ^Ccity Where the ^Amword^F like wildfire ^Cspread Old John ^AmSutter^F soon came to ^Cwishin' ^Am He'd left that ^Dm7stone^G7 in the river ^Ambed.

Oh, they ^Fcame like herds of ^Clocusts Every ^Fwo-^Cman, child and ^Amman In their ^Flumberin' connes- ^Ctogas ^Am They left their ^Dm7track^G7 upon the ^Amland.

REFRAIN:

Some would ^Ffail and some would ^Cprosper Some would ^Fdie^C and some would ^Amkill Some would ^Fbeg the Lord for their de-^Cliverance ^Am Some would ^Dm7curse^G7 John Sutter's ^CMill.

Well, they ^Amcame^F from New York ^CCity And they ^Amcame^F from Ala-^Cbam' With their ^Amdream^F of findin' for-^Ctune ^Am In this ^Dm7wild^G7 unsettled ^Cland.

Well, some fell ^Amprey^F to hostile ^Carrows As they ^Amtried^F to cross the ^Cland And some were ^Amlost^F in the Rocky ^CMountains ^Am With their ^Dm7hands^G7 froze to the ^Amreins.

REFRAIN

Some pushed ^Am on^F to Cali-^Cfornia Others ^Amstopped^F to take their ^Crest And by the ^Amspring^F of eighteen-^Csixty ^Am They had ^Dm7opened^G7 up the ^Cwest.

And then the ^Amrailroad^F came be-^Chind them And the ^Amland^F was plowed and ^Ctame When old John ^AmSutter^F went to meet his ^CMaker ^Am With not one ^Dm7penny^G7 to his ^Amname.

REFRAIN

Some would ^Dm7curse^G7 John Sutter's ^CMill ^Am Some men's ^Dm7thirsts^G7 are never ^Cfilled.
