C            G           F      
When I was a child and I lived 
      C
in the city
             Am     F      G
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
      C                        
And I dreamed I was flying over 
 F             C
mountains and glaciers
          Am           G          
Somehow I knew that Id live there 
    C
one day

                      G            
Well, it took me some growin and a 
F           C
fair bit of schoolin
                    Am         F  
And a little bit of trouble to get
        G
 on the move
      C                       
And I felt like a loser, but I 
 F              C
turned out the winner
               Am          G      
When I came to Alaska, the land 
     C
that I love

[Chorus]
G                F            C
Heres to Alaska, heres to the people
Am           Am/G     F

                G        F        
I was born in a cabin on Little 
  C
Mul chatna
               Am          F   
Raised in hard times but I had a 
       G
good life

>From the first time I flew with my
 F        C

I knew that I?d wind up a bush 
         C
pilots wife
                  G          F    
We sleep near the sound of a slow 
        C
running river
             Am            F      
Wake up most mornings to a 
   G
drizzling rain
   C                       F      
We live every day like the first 
      C
or the last one
                Am       G         
With nothing to lose and heaven to 
C
gain

Once more to gaze at the great 
           G
Northern lights
