C                                     C/G
Well, I left my home and my one true love
C           Gadd4/B   Am7
East of the Ohio River
C                                     C/G
My father said we'd never wed
C          Gadd4/B            Am7
For I had me no gold nor silver
 
 
  Em           Fadd9
But my darling dear, please shed no tears
 C           Gadd4/B         Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
 Fadd9       C       Gadd4/B   Am7
That I return to claim your hand
  Em           Fadd9      C
As the King of California
 
 
C                                     C/G
Over deserts hot and mountains cold
C           Gadd4/B   Am7
I traveled the Indian country
C                                     C/G
Whispering your name under lonesome skies
C           Gadd4/B   Am7
Remembering my only company
 
 
Em                          Fadd9
But my darling dear, have no fears
 C           Gadd4/B         Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
 Fadd9       C       Gadd4/B   Am7
That I return to claim your hand
  Em           Fadd9      C
As the King of California
 
 
C                                     C/G
I went up from Sacramento town
C           Gadd4/B   Am7
To the Sierra gold fields
C                                     C/G
And I worked my stake on a riverbank
C           Gadd4/B   Am7
Dreaming just how a rich man feels
 
 
Em                   Fadd9
But my darling dear, listen here
 C           Gadd4/B         Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
 Fadd9       C       Gadd4/B   Am7
That I return to claim your hand
  Em           Fadd9      C
As the King of California
 
 
 C                                     C/G
Now, the dead man's lying at my feet
C           Gadd4/B   Am7
Who tried to steal my earnings
 C                                     C/G
Yet, I still recall your tender kiss
C           Gadd4/B   Am7
Though this bullet in my chest is burning
 
 
Em           Fadd9
But my darling dear, please have no fear
 C           Gadd4/B         Am7
But I think that it's fair to warn you
 Fadd9       C       Gadd4/B   Am7
That I return to claim your hand
  Em           Fadd9      C
As the King of California
 
 
 Fadd9       C       Gadd4/B   Am7
But I'll I return to claim your hand
   Em           Fadd9      C
As the King of California
