[Verse 1]
[F]Sam [C]McG[G]ee[C]

[Verse 2]
There's a [C]valley
By the ol' North [F]Pole
[C]Where ol' Sam McGee
Died in search of [G]gold
Where ever I [C]wonder
In memor[F]ies
I [C]see [F]the [C]smoke [G]fro[C]m[F][C][G]
the [D]pipe of [G]Sam [C]McGee

[Verse 3]
We had [G]wondered way up there
above the [C]klondike
[G]Where [C]we [G]found the mighty
mountain made of [C]gold
[G]There old Sam he got sick
and made me [C]promise
That if he [G]died I wouldn't
leave him in that [C]cold
[G](That if he died he wouldn't
leave him in [C]the cold)

[Verse 4]
The next [F]morning he was
cold and stiff and lifeless
So I dragged him forty days
upon upon my sled
'Till I found a pine of? valley
It was [G]there I got the notion in my head
(It was there he got the notion in his head)

[Verse 5]
I took out my [C]matches and I [G]builded [C]a f[F]ire
[C]And [F]I l[C]aid old Sam upon the funeral p[G]yre
He sat up a [C]grinnin'
With his pipe in his [F]mouth
He [C]sang "Ho,
ho this [G]is mighty like the [C]south"
(He sang [F]"Ho,
[C]ho [G]this is mighty like [C]the [F]sou[C]th"[F])[G]
- - -
The flames [C]around him
had a heavenly [F]glow
[C]And [F]the [C]Northern Lights was
just one big rain[G]bow
He sat there a [C]grinnin'
With his pipe in his [F]mouth
He sang "Ho,
[C]ho [G]this is mighty like the [C]south"
(He sang [F]"Ho,
[C]ho this is [G]mighty like the south")
