I left my hometown one warm summer evening
G C G D7
Went down to the station to catch me a train,
G D7 G D7
Rode west through Missouri and into Wyoming,
G C D7 G
And down to California to stake a gold claim
G D7 G D7
I met her at Clancy’s, the cause of my trouble:
G C G D7
A woman with beauty for all men to see.
G D7 G D7
She gave me my six gun and fed me my whisky
G C
Said the fools do the digging
D7 G
Smart men work for me
G
There's gold in the mountain
C
Gold in the valley,
G D7
Gold in the river and gold in the sea
G
Fortunes are waiting
C
For all men to claim them,
G D7 G
But only the heartaches are waiting for me.
G D7 G D7
I'm so tired of killing for love of this woman.

The notches on my gun are twenty and three.
G D7 G D7
So I’m leaving my lover the cause of my troubles
G C D7 G
Cause only the heartaches are waiting for me
