Am Dm Am
Loved a no-good gamblin' man

She drank the coffee dregs
C Dm Am
So she could fry his eggs
F E7
In a golden frying pan
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am
Can-can-ed by command
Am Dm Am
Of the Gold Rush Cafe clan
Am C
She gave her man her pay
C Dm Am
He gambled it away
F E7 Am
Playin Chinatown fan-tan
[Verse 3]
F#m
Once they caught him cheatin’
And he knew that he was beaten
Am F
When a miner aimed a pistol at his head
F#m
Fanny when she’d seen him
Ran and jumped between ’em
Bb7 E7
And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead
[Verse 4]
F#m
There was Fanny dyin’
While a hundred men stood cryin’
Am F
And the [Am] angels up above were cryin’ [F] too
F#m
When [F#m] seven horses started draggin’
Fanny’s coffin in a wagon
Bb7 E7
Down a [Bbm] dusty Californian ave-[E7]-nue
[Verse 5]
Am Dm Am

Am Dm Am
Gave her life to save her man
Am C
A man who wasn't worth
C Dm Am
A shovelful of earth
F E7 Am
From the grave of San Francisco Fan
