Chord/Tab song: King of California

[C]Well, I left my home and my one true l[C/G]ove
[C]East of the [G/add4b]Ohio River[Am7]
[C]My father said we'd never wed[C/G]
[C]For I had m[G/add4b]e no gold nor silve[Am7]r

Bu[Em]t my darling [Fadd9]dear, please shed no tears
B[C]ut I think t[G/add4b]hat it's fair to[Am7] warn you

As[Em] the King of [Fadd9]California[C]

[C]Over deserts hot and mountains cold[C/G]
[C]I traveled t[G/add4b]he Indian [Am7]country
[C]Whispering your name under lonesome sk[C/G]ies

[C]I went up from Sacramento town[C/G]
[C]To the Sierr[G/add4b]a gold fie[Am7]lds
[C]And I worked my stake on a riverbank[C/G]

B[C]ut I think t[G/add4b]hat it's fair to[Am7] warn you

N[C]ow, the dead man's lying at my feet[C/G]
[C]Who tried to[G/add4b] steal my [Am7]earnings
Y[C]et, I still recall your tender kiss[C/G]
[C]Though this [G/add4b]bullet in [Am7]my chest is burning
