When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C](When it's springtime in Alaska,
it's [F]forty [C]below)

[Verse 2]
[C]I mushed from Port Barren through
a [G]blizzard of [C]snow
Been out prospecting for
two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boon
So I took a little stroll to the
[F]Red Dog Saloon
[C]

[Verse 3]
As I walked in the door,
the [G]music was [C]clear
The prettiest voice I had
heard in two years
The song she was singin' made
a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska,
it's [F]forty be[C]low
(When it's springtime in Alaska,
it's [F]forty [C]below)

[Verse 4]
It was [C]red headed Lil who
was [G]singin' so [C]sweet
I reached down and took the
snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who
was singin' the tune
We did the Eskimo hop
all [F]around the [C]saloon

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C]

[Verse 5]
With the [C]caribou crawl
and the [G]grizzly bear [C]hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singing made
a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
it's [F]forty be[C]low
(When it's springtime in
Alaska it's [F]forty [C]below)

[Verse 6]
I was as [C]innocent [G]as I could [C]be
I didn't know Lil was Big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and
he gave it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll
be [F]six feet be[C]low
(When it's springtime in Alaska he'll
be [F]six [C]feet below)
(When it's springtime in Alaska he'll
be [F]six [C]feet below)
(When it's springtime in Alaska)
