Alaska

C      C6      C7         C6   C    C6   C7   C6 C
 I always had to tell her to relax
        F                              C    C6    C7  C6
And the cat can slip in doors, through multitudes of cracks
         Eb                 C         Eb                  C
And it’s funny what they’ll do, cause cracks lead outside too
       D7
When I asked her where she’s goin’
         G
She said far away from you

[Verse 2]
C       C6         C7    C6  C      C6      C7   C6 C
  Stuck here on my own now,    diggin’ down deep
F                          C       C6    C7    C6
I don’t understand it, but I ain’t losin’ sleep
              Eb  C        Eb                C
I’m not gonna lay down, or head north out of town
D7
I don’t know, but I think I’ll go
    G
And try dog mushin’ with an Eskimo

[Chorus]
   C    C6 C7   C6   C      C6   C7  C6
In Alaska, Alaska...I think I’ll try Alaska
F                                G
Somewhere she could wait for me, I’ll catch up just wait and see
C7                        Em7       F
Idaho, Nebraska...I don’t know I’ll ask her
G                                    C7
I think I’ll try...I think I’ll try Alaska

[Verse 3]
C     C6          C7  C6       C    C6   C7   C6 C
  I sold my old piano for the rent
F                              C        C6      C7    C6
I loaded up on bug spray and I found my daddy’s tent
           Eb   C           Eb    C
Now I’m in high gear, doin’ forty-five
D7
I’m hummin’ a tune, I won’t see the moon
     G
Till sometime in July

[Verse 4]
C          C6       C7       C6      C    C6   C7  C6
 I guess I could’ve flown or took a train
    F                                C       C6   C7    C6
But you won’t see a moose, if you’re sittin’ on a plane
                Eb      C                 Eb    C
And now there’s no more road, but I got a light load
           D7
And if she isn’t in Alaska
     G
I’ll stay and pan for gold

[Chorus]
   C    C6 C7   C6    C           C6   C7    C6
In Alaska, Alaska...I think I’ll try Alaska
F                                G
Somewhere she could wait for me, I’ll catch up just wait and see
C7                        Em7       F
Idaho, Nebraska...I don’t know I’ll ask her
G                                    C7
I think I’ll try...I think I’ll try Alaska

[Bridge]
B                              E
Just when I thought I’d end up alone
A                         D                D#7
Big ol’ ‘laskan mama come walkin’ down the road

(jam x2 over chorus, hold the last G in chorus x4, don't go to the last C7)

[Chorus]
C    C6 C7   C6       C          C6   C7  C6
Alaska, Alaska...I’ll stay right here in Alaska
F                                G
All settled down and hav’in fun, here in the land of the midnight sun
      C7                                 Em7       F
Is it time to call the pastor?...I don’t know I’ll ask her
G
I’ll stay right here...I’ll stay right here     (repeat this part x4)
