[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am G Am G Am
I'm old Tom Moore from the bummer's shore in the good old golden days
Am G Am G Am
They call me a bummer and a ginsot too, but what cares I for praise?
C Am C Am
I wander around from town to town just like a roving sign
C Am G Am
And all the people say, "There goes Tom Moore, in the days of '49"
F C
In the days of old, in the days of gold
F C F
How oft'times I repine for the days of old
C Am
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
[Verse 2]
Am G Am G Am
My comrades they all loved me well, a jolly saucy crew
Am G Am G Am
A few hard cases I will recall though they all were brave and true
C Am C Am
Whatever the pinch they never would flinch, they never would fret or whine
C Am G Am
Like good old bricks they stood the kicks in the days of '49
F C
In the days of old, in the days of gold
F C F
How oft'times I repine for the days of old
C Am
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
[Verse 3]
Am G Am G Am
There was New York Jake, the butcher's boy, he was always getting tight
Am G Am G Am
And every time that he'd get full he was spoiling for a fight
C Am C Am
But Jake rampaged against a knife in the hands of old Bob Stein
C Am G Am
And over Jake they held a wake in the days of '49
F C
In the days of old, in the days of gold
F C F
How oft'times I repine for the days of old
C Am
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
[Verse 4]
Am G Am G Am
There was Poker Bill, one of the boys who was always in a game
Am G Am G Am
Whether he lost or whether he won, to him it was always the same
C Am C Am
He would ante up and draw his cards and he would you go a hatfull blind
C Am G Am
In the game with death Bill lost his breath, in the days of '49 'oh my goodness'
F C
In the days of old, in the days of gold
F C F
In the day'times I repine in the days of old
C Am
In the days of gold, those where days of '49.
[Verse 5]
Am G Am G Am
There was Ragshag Bill from Buffalo, I never will forget
Am G Am G Am
He would roar all day and he'd roar all night and I guess he's roaring yet
C Am C Am
One day he fell in a prospect hole, in a roaring bad design
C Am G Am
And in that hole he roared out his soul, in the days of '49
F C
In the days of old, in the days of gold
F C F
How oft'times I repine for the days of old
C Am
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
[Verse 6]
Am G Am G Am
Of the comrades all that I've had, there's none that's left to boast
Am G Am G Am
And I'm left alone in my misery like some poor wandering ghost
C Am C Am
And I pass by from town to town, they call me the rambling sign
C Am G Am
"There goes Tom Moore, a bummer shore in the days of '49 "
F C
In the days of old, in the days of gold
F C F
How oft'times I repine for the days of old
C Am
When we dug up the gold, in the days of '49.
F C
And the days of old when we dug up the gold
F C F
How oft'times I repine In the days of old
C Am
In the days of gold in the days of '49. wooh!
