C                                     C/G 
Well, I left my home and my one true love 
C           G4   Am7 
East of the Ohio River 
C                                     C/G 
My father said we'd never wed 
C          G4            Am7 
For I had me no gold nor silver 


  Em           Fadd9 
But my darling dear, please shed no tears 
 C           G4         Am7 
But I think that it's fair to warn you 
 Fadd9       C       G4   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           G4   Am7 
I traveled the Indian country 
C                                     C/G 
Whispering your name under lonesome skies 
C           G4   Am7 
Remembering my only company 


Em                          Fadd9 
But my darling dear, have no fears 
 C           G4         Am7 
But I think that it's fair to warn you 
 Fadd9       C       G4   Am7 
That I return to claim your hand 
  Em           F/add9      C 
As the King of California 


C                                     C/G 
I went up from Sacramento town 
C           G4   Am7 
To the Sierra gold fields 
C                                     C/G 
And I worked my stake on a riverbank 
C           G4   Am7 
Dreaming just how a rich man feels 


Em                   Fadd9 
But my darling dear, listen here 
 C           G4         Am7 
But I think that it's fair to warn you 
 Fadd9       C       G4   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           G4   Am7 
Who tried to steal my earnings 
 C                                     C/G 
Yet, I still recall your tender kiss 
C           G4   Am7 
Though this bullet in my chest is burning 


Em           Fadd9 
But my darling dear, please have no fear 
 C           G4         Am7 
But I think that it's fair to warn you 
 Fadd9       C       G4   Am7 
That I return to claim your hand

But I'll I return to claim your hand

As the King of California
