[Verse]
EmG
They all, were losers,
ACD
And none had a dime.
EmG
And they all drew pictures,
ACD
Of what was stored in their minds.
EmG
Questions and answers,
ACD
Filled with fables and rhymes.
EmG
Headed west was a '49er,
A
To stake his new shrine.
[Chorus]
C
Some never made,
D
Their dreams come to life.
Em
Many men fell from a gun or a knife.
CD
They grew old and weary,
B
And ashamed,
CD
Of the stories they told,
Em
And the wealth that they gained.
[Verse 2]
EmG
But the road, was a rough one,
ACD
Wind and hills were their foe.
EmG
And no man, was a low man,
ACD
They were too young to know.
EmG
Headed west was a 49er,
ACD
Get rich quick, live life finer.
EmGA
On and on and on, the story goes.
[Chorus 2]
C
Some never made,
D
Their dreams come to life.
Em
Many men fell from a gun or a knife.
CD
They grew old and weary,
B
And ashamed,
CD
Of the stories they told,
Em
And the wealth that they gained.

[Verse 3]
EmG
Now rich man, and poor,
ACD
Aren't equal to one.
EmG
And they follow the stars,
ACD
Once the journey's begun.
EmG
Shines the gleam, in their eye,
ACD
And the song in their heart.
EmG
If the land don't shred his mind,
A
It'll tear his soul apart.
[Chorus 3]
C
Some never made,
D
Their dreams come to life.
Em
Many men fell from a gun or a knife.
CD
They grew old and weary,
B
And ashamed,

Of the stories they told,
Em
And the wealth that they gained.
C
Some never made,
D
Their dreams come to life.
Em
Many men fell from a gun or a knife.
CD
They grew old and weary,
B
And ashamed,
CD
Of the stories they told,
Em
And the wealth that they gained.
