North To Alaska Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
Way up [C]north to Alaska,
way up [G]north to Alaska
[C]North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on
North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on

[Verse 1]
Big [C]Sam left Seattle in the [G]year of [C]'92
With [F]George Pratt his partner
and brother Billy [C]too
They [F]crossed the Yukon River
and found a bonanza [C]gold
Below that old white mountain,
just a [G]little southeast of [C]Nome

[Verse 2]
Sam [C]crossed the majestic mountains
to the [G]valleys far [C]below
He [F]talked to his team of huskies
as he mushed on through the [C]snow
With the [F]Northern Lights a runnin' wild
in the Land of the Midnight [C]Sun
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man
in the [G]year of nineteen- [C]one

[Chorus 1]
Where the [C]river is winding,
big [F]nuggets they're finding
[C]North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on
Way up north to Alaska,
way up [G]north to Alaska
[C]North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on
North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on

[Verse 3]
[C]George turned to Sam
with his [G]gold in his [C]hand
Said, [F]"Sam you're a lookin'
at a lonely, lonely [C]man
I'd [F]trade all the gold that's buried in this [C]land
For one small band of golden place
on [G]sweet little Jenny's [C]hand

[Verse 4]
'Cause a [C]man needs a woman
to [G]love him all the [C]time
Re[F]member Sam a true love is so hard to [C]find
I'd [F]build for my Jenny
a honeymoon [C]home
Below that old white mountain
just a [G]little southeast of [C]Nome"

[Chorus 2]
Where the [C]river is winding,
big [F]nuggets they're finding
[C]North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on
North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on
Way up North to Alaska,
way up [G]north to Alaska
Way up [C]north to Alaska,
way up [G]north to Alaska
[Repeat and fade]
