[Verse 1]
A G A
Wagons rolled out under darkened skies
G A
The sun refused to shine
A G A
Four-hundred people full of hopes and dreams
G A
In eighteen-forty-nine
A G A
They waved goodbye, women dried their tears
D A
Young men hid their fears
A G A
They headed west, full of confidence
D A
That their fortunes would appear
[Chorus]
Em7 D A
They packed a trunk full of china, a bible or two
Em7 D A
A shotgun for Leroy, a pistol for Lou
Em D
A pretty dress for Sarah
Em D
And a hat for sister Fay
C G
No one thought their greed for gold
A E
Would change their lives someday
A G A
They headed west in eighteen-forty-nine
G D
Sixty-one wagons, two miles long in a line
A G D
They headed west in eighteen-forty-nine

[Verse 2]
A G A
March winds came, filled the sky with lightnin'
G D A
It rained all day and night
A G A
Old men died and backs were broken
G D A
As they set their wagons right
A G A
They crossed the mountains, came down to the sea
G A
Sure that it would be
A G A
Gold and riches and a life of ease
G D
But what they didn't see...
[Chorus]
Em7 D A
Was a trunk full of china all broken in two
Em7 D A
A shotgun for Leroy that he used on Lou
Em D
A pretty dress for Sarah
Em D
That they used to bury Fay
C G
No one thought their greed for gold
A E
Would change their lives that way
[Outro]
A G
They came for gold in eighteen-forty-nine
A G
Sixty-one wagons, two miles long in a line
A G
A promised land in eighteen-forty-nine
A G
A promised land in eighteen-forty-nine
A G
A promised land in eighteen-forty-nine
