[Verse 1]
Cm Bb Cm
The snow falls hard, in Dawson City
F Bb Dm Gm
I've a pick and shovel, and a pack on hand
Cm Bb Cm
I think on you, but it turns to grieving
F Bb Gm Ab
6 thousand miles, from my native land
[Verse 2]
Gm Cm Bb Cm
When first I saw you, my heart surrendered
F Bb Dm Gm
No lass in Erin, could wound? me so
Cm Bb Cm
Your flowing hair, black as the raven
F Bb Gm Ab
And your lips were red, as blood in snow
[Verse 3]
Cm Bb Cm
I saw you waliking so slight and graceful
F Bb Dm Gm
Gathering lillies, in the market square
Cm Bb Cm
And I called to you, and you turned smiling
F Bb Gm Ab
And I thought my heart it would break right there
[Verse 4]
Gm Cm Bb Cm
All summer long, well we played and courted
F Bb Dm Gm
Through Alyssa lough and Caroldeam (???)
Cm Bb Cm
And we swore that we'd be bound together
F Bb F
And let no other part the sea
[Chorus]
Cm Bb Cm
Turn around now, you wheel of fortune
F Bb Dm Gm
You bind together you tear apart
Cm Bb Cm
We place our bets and we set you spinning
F Bb F
To bring us joy or break our hearts
[Verse 5]
Eb Cm Bb Cm
I roamed to Scottland, all as a spalpeen
F Bb Dm Gm
To dig potatoes and thresh the wheat
Cm Bb Cm
And I bought a ring, for to fit your finger
F Bb Gm Ab
For to give to you when next we'd meet
[Verse 6]
Gm Cm Bb Cm
With a joyous heart, I opened the door, Love
F Bb Dm Gm
The dreadful evening as I returned
Cm Bb Cm
For there I found you, in the arms of another
F Bb Gm Ab
Oh how my heart it did ache and burn
[Chorus]
Cm Bb Cm
Turn around now, you wheel of fortune
F Bb Dm Gm
You bind together you tear apart
Cm Bb Cm
We place our bets and we set you spinning
F Bb Gm Ab
To bring us joy or break our hearts
[Interlude]
[Verse 7]
Eb Cm Bb Cm
I roamed the world, all to forget you
F Bb Dm Gm
to blanche the taste, that was once so sweet
Cm Bb Cm
From the burning heat, of Arizona
F Bb Gm Ab
To the Rockies high and looming peaks
[Verse 8]
Gm Cm Bb Cm
Not riches bright but rock and fools gold
F Bb Dm Gm
This Yukon's treasures yield to me
Cm Bb Cm
I dig the dirt and I pan the streams, Love
F Bb Gm Ab
In hopes that one day, I'll be free
[Verse 9]
Cm Bb Cm
Here I sit in Dawson City
F Bb Dm Gm
The White-Horse Ferry has broght me o're
Cm Bb Cm
There's many a man in search of riches
F Bb Gm Ab
Who sold his soul for less, not more
[Chorus]
Cm Bb Cm
Turn around now, you wheel of fortune
F Bb Dm Gm
You bind together you tear apart
Cm Bb Cm
We place our bets and we set you spinning
F Bb Gm Ab
To bring us joy or break our hearts
[Outro]
