Song: San Francisco Fan Artist: Joe Jackson Composer: Cab Calloway CAPO: 3rd fret [Verse 1]

Am        Dm    Am
[tab]Am                Dm      Am
Loved a no-good gamblin' man

Am               C
She drank the coffee dregs

C             Dm      Am
So she could fry his eggs

        F           E7
In a golden frying pan

[Verse 2]

Am         Dm    Am
Can-can-ed by command

Am                Dm   Am
Of the Gold Rush Cafe clan

Am            C
She gave her man her pay

C          Dm  Am
He gambled it away

        F    E7    Am
Playin Chinatown fan-tan

[Verse 3]

F#m
Once they caught him cheatin’

And he knew that he was beaten

        Am                          F
When a miner aimed a pistol at his head

F#m
Fanny when she’d seen him

Ran and jumped between ’em

          Bb7                      E7
And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead

[Verse 4]

F#m
There was Fanny dyin’

While a hundred men stood cryin’

        Am                          F
And the [Am] angels up above were cryin’ [F] too

F#m
When [F#m] seven horses started draggin’

Fanny’s coffin in a wagon

          Bb7                      E7
Down a [Bbm] dusty Californian ave-[E7]-nue

[Verse 5]

Am         Dm   Am
San Fran-cisco Fan

Am                Dm      Am
Gave her life to save her man

Am            C
A man who wasn't worth

C        Dm     Am
A shovelful of earth

           F               E7    Am
From the grave of San Francisco Fan
