Saginaw Michigan Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
I was [D]born [A]in Saginaw, Mic[D]higan
I grew [G]up in a [D]house on [A]Saginaw Bay
My dad was a [D]poor,
hard-working Saginaw Saginaw [G]fisherman
Too many [D]times he came
home [A]with too little pay.
[D]

[Verse 2]
I loved a [A]girl in Saginaw, [D]Michigan
The [G]daughter of a [D]wealthy, [A]wealthy man
But he called [D]me that son of
a Saginaw [G]fisherman
And he said I wasn't [D]good enough to
[A]claim his daughter's hand.
[D]

[Verse 3]
That's why I'm [G]up here in Alaska
[D]looking around for gold
Like a [A]crazy fool I'm digging in
this [D]frozen ground so cold
But with [G]each new day I pray
I'll strike it [D]rich and then
I'll go back [A]home and claim my
love in Saginaw, [D]Michigan.
[Eb]

[Verse 4]
I wrote my [Bb]love in Saginaw, [Eb]Michigan
I said hon[Ab]ey,
I'm coming [Eb]home please wait [Bb]for me
And you can tell your [Eb]dad I'm
coming back a [Ab]richer man
I hit the [Eb]biggest strike in [Bb]Klondike history.
[Eb]

[Verse 5]
Her dad met [Bb]me in Saginaw, M[Eb]ichigan
He [Ab]gave me a great big [Eb]party
with cham[Bb]pagne
Then he said [Eb]son you're a wise,
young, ambi[Ab]tious man
Will you [Eb]sell your father-in-law
your [Bb]your your Klondike claim.
[Eb]

[Verse 6]
So now he's [Ab]up there in Alaska d[Eb]iggin' in the cold,
cold ground
The [Bb]greedy fool is looking for
the [Eb]gold I never found
And it [Ab]serves him right and no
one here is [Eb]missing him
Least of [Bb]all the newlyweds of Saginaw,
[Eb]Michigan.

[Verse 7]
Least of [Bb]all the newlyweds of Saginaw,
[Eb]Michigan
