[INTRO]
Am


[VERSE 1 - NARRATOR]
Am
   There’s gold, and it’s haunting and haunting
G                 Am
   It’s luring me on as of old!
          Csus2                   Am            Am                    F     C
   Yet it isn’t the gold that I’m wanting so much as just finding the gold!
                                   Dm            Am
   It’s the great, big, broad land way up yonder!

[VERSE 1 - JOHANNA]
    Am                    G     Am
The great, broad land way up yonder
     Am      Csus2   Am
Haunting him as   of old
Am                Dm/F   C
Yet, it ain’t the gold itself
   C       Em          Am
So much as finding the gold


[PRE-CHORUS 1]
G               F
Farewell, White Agony Creek
    G                    F
Farewell, the three long years
G             F                   Am
Can’t leave behind what’s in this sled


[CHORUS]
Am
Things we lost
    F         G
The things we couldn’t share
  C     F             Dm7
Another rainbow’s end
        Am/E   E  F G/B
Another me - mory
Am      F     G
Fortuna Favet Fortibus!
     C/E              F
Hold on to all that’s dear to you
       Dm7                 Gsus       G
As the last sled to Dawson finally arrives


[VERSE 2 - NARRATOR]
Am          G             Am
   It’s the forests where silence has lease
Am         Csus   Am                 Am
   It’s the beauty that fills me with wonder!
F                    C          C        Dm     Am
   It’s the stillness that fills me with peace!

[VERSE 2 - JOHANNA]
    Am                   Gsus     Am
The stillness that fills him with peace
    Am     Csus2    Am
The beauty of   the wild
Am                 Dm/F   C
Rainbow’s end with golden dreams
C               Em       Am
Starlit sky and coffee & beans


[PRE-CHORUS 2] - a cappella, ergo n.c. (but if you want chords, look at PC1.)
Farewell, White Agony Creek
Farewell, the three spring thaws
One day I will return to you


[CHORUS]

As the last sled to Dawson finally arrives
