Cody Jinks – Saginaw Michigan (Guitar)

A         E            A
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan

       D             A          E   E7
I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay

             A          A7              D
My dad was a poor, hard working Saginaw fisherman

         A             E               A
Too many times he came home too little pay

                          E                 A
I loved a girl (I loved a girl) in Saginaw, Michigan (Saginaw, Michigan)

    D             A                E   E7
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man

              A        A7               D
But he called me "That son of a Saginaw fisherman"

D7        A        E                    A
Not good enough to claim his daughter's hand

        D                  A
Now I'm up here in Alaska, looking around for gold

       E               E7              A                      A7
Like a crazy fool, I'm digging in this frozen ground so cold

         D                                   A
But with each new day, I pray I'll strike it rich and then

             E7                                 A
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan

           A                E                 A
I wrote my love (I wrote my love) in Saginaw, Michigan (Saginaw, Michigan)

         D                 A                     E
I said, "Honey, I'm coming home, please wait for me

E7                    A        A7            D
And you can tell your dad, I'm coming back a richer man

          A                 E             A
I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history"

A                           E               A
Her dad met me (Her dad met me) in Saginaw, Michigan (Saginaw, Michigan)

   D                   A              E
He gave me a great big party with champagne

E7             A                          D
Then he said, "Son, you're a wise young ambitious man

         A                   E                 A
Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim?"

         D                   A
Now he's up there in Alaska, diggin' in the cold, cold ground

    E7                             A                   A7
The greedy fool is looking for the gold I never found

   D                                    A
It serves him right, and no one here is missing him

         E7                            A
Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan

          E                                 A
We're the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan

      E                                   A
He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan
