Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[A][D]

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

[Verse 2]
I loved [A]a girl in [D]Saginaw Michigan
The [G]daughter of [D]a wealthy, wealthy m[A]an
But he called [D]me that son of
a Saginaw [G]fisherman
[Em]And [D]not good enough to claim
[A]his daughter's han[D]d

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

[Verse 4]
I wrote my [D]love in [A]Saginaw [D]Michigan
I said, [G]"Honey I'm a-coming home,
[D]home, please wait for[A] me
And you can tell [D]your dad I'm
coming home a [G]richer man
I've hit [Em]the b[D]iggest strike
in [A]Klondike history"
[D]

[Verse 5]
Her dad met me [A]in [D]Saginaw Michigan
He [G]gave me a great big [D]party
with [A]champagne
Then he said, [D]"Son,
you wild young ambi[G]tious man
Will [Em]you s[D]ell your father-in-law your
[A]your your Klondike claim"
[D]

[Verse 6]
Now he's [G]up there in Alaska
[D]digging in the cold cold ground
The [A]greedy fool is a-looking for
for the [D]gold I never found
It [G]serves him right and no one
here is [D]missing him
Least of [A]all the newly weds
of Saginaw [D]Michigan
We're the happiest man and [A]wife
in Saginaw Michigan
He's ashamed to show
his face in Saginaw [D]Michigan
