Subject: CRD: SUTTER'S MILL by Dan Fogelberg
SUTTER'S MILL
Dan Fogelberg
Key: originally E, here C (capo 4th fret)
CIn the AmspringF of forty- Cseven
So the AmstoryF it is Ctold
Old John AmSutterF went to the Mill Csite Am
Found a Dm7pieceG7 of shinin' Cgold.
Well, he Amtook itF to the Ccity
Where the AmwordF like wildfire Cspread
Old John AmSutterF soon came to Cwishin' Am
He'd left that Dm7stoneG7 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 Dm7trackG7 upon the Amland.
REFRAIN:
Some would Ffail and some would Cprosper
Some would FdieC and some would Amkill
Some would Fbeg the Lord for their de-Cliverance Am
Some would Dm7curseG7 John Sutter's CMill.
Well, they AmcameF from New York CCity
And they AmcameF from Ala-Cbam'
With their AmdreamF of findin' for-Ctune Am
In this Dm7wildG7 unsettled Cland.
Well, some fell AmpreyF to hostile Carrows
As they AmtriedF to cross the Cland
And some were AmlostF in the Rocky CMountains Am
With their Dm7handsG7 froze to the Amreins.
REFRAIN
Some pushed AmonF to Cali-Cfornia
Others AmstoppedF to take their Crest
And by the AmspringF of eighteen-Csixty Am
They had Dm7openedG7 up the Cwest.
And then the AmrailroadF came be-Chind them
And the AmlandF was plowed and Ctame
When old John AmSutterF went to meet his CMaker Am
With not one Dm7pennyG7 to his Amname.
REFRAIN
Some would Dm7curseG7 John Sutter's CMill Am
Some men's Dm7thirstsG7 are never Cfilled.
