Am        Dm    Am
San Fran-cisco Fan
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
