[Chorus]
 G       Am            C
 Hey hey cripple creek ferry
         G           C           G
 Butting through the overhanging trees
                  Am            C
 Make way for the cripple creek ferry
                   G
 The water's going down
        C            G  Am C
 It's a mighty tight  sque eze

[Verse]
 G
 All alone the captain stands
 G
 Hasn't heard from his deck hands
             C
 The gambler tips his hat and walks
             G     C   G
 Towards the door
          D7                 Am
 It's the second half of the cruise
         C                G     Am C
 And you know he hates to lose

[Chorus]
 G       Am            C
 Hey hey cripple creek ferry
         G           C           G
 Butting through the overhanging trees
                  Am            C
 Make way for the cripple creek ferry
                   G
 The water's going down
        C            G  Am C
 It's a mighty tight  sque eze (to fade)
