C majorC C/GC/G x 4 [Alternate Picking]

    C majorC   C/GC/G   C majorC  C/GC/G   C majorC     C/GC/G   C majorC  C/GC/G
On my way out to the gold mines, crossing the western hills,
C majorC     C/GC/G    C majorC C/GC/G     C majorC     C/GC/G    A minorAm Am/E A minorAm Am/E
Me and my little dog, Clyde, and a horse named Prancing Bill,
  FF  F/CF/C   FF F/CF/C   FF    F/CF/C   FF  F/CF/C
I slept under the stars, I heard the coyotes sing,
     C majorC    C/GC/G  C majorC C/GC/G G+G   G/BG/B   C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
And the sun was a golden coin shining just for me.
   FF    F/CF/C   C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
The sun shone just for me.

   C majorC   C/GC/G   C majorC  C/GC/G  C majorC   C/GC/G   C majorC C/GC/G
But high up in the mountains, Bill began to foam,
  C majorC   C/GC/G     C majorC   C/GC/G   C majorC   C/GC/G     A minorAm Am/E A minorAm Am/E
And as I whipped and tugged him, he bucked against his load,
 FF    F/CF/C  FF F/CF/C   FF   F/CF/C  FF  F/CF/C
'Round a hairpin turn, the wagon tumbled o'er
   C majorC    C/GC/G   C majorC C/GC/G   G+G    G/BG/B  C majorC C/GC/G
And down the jagged rocks, Bill fell with all I owned.
  FF    F/CF/C  C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
He fell with all I owned.

C majorC   C/GC/G    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC    C/GC/G   C majorC C/GC/G
As the sun died out,  coyotes began to howl
 C majorC   C/GC/G     C majorC C/GC/G  C majorC   C/GC/G    A minorAm Am/E A minorAm Am/E
Little Clyde's head rose and answered with a growl,
   FF  F/CF/C   FF  F/CF/C    FF    F/CF/C   FF F/CF/C
But when I bent to call him, he snapped at me and ran,
   C majorC  C/GC/G  C majorC C/GC/G    G+G   G/BG/B    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
And then I was alone in the silent rocks and sand.
   FF   F/CF/C    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
The silent rocks and sand.

C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G

    C majorC  C/GC/G   C majorC C/GC/G     C majorC   C/GC/G   C majorC C/GC/G
By my fifth day of walking, I was crawling on my knees,
  C majorC C/GC/G   C majorC C/GC/G     C majorC    C/GC/G   A minorAm Am/E
In handfuls of dust  from between the dying weeds.
  FF    F/CF/C   FF F/CF/C    FF  F/CF/C    FF F/CF/C
I laid out in the dirt as the sun lost her glow,
  C majorC   C/GC/G   C majorC    C/GC/G     G+G    G/BG/B    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
But I was welcomed in the dark by the song of a hundred toads.
   FF    F/CF/C    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
The song of a hundred toads.
   FF    F/CF/C    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
The song of a hundred toads.
   FF    F/CF/C    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
The song of a hundred toads.
   FF    F/CF/C    C majorC C/GC/G C majorC C/GC/G
