{C7 Jam}

[C7] I always had to tell her to relax [F C7] And the cat can slip in doors, through multitudes of cracks [F9 C F9 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

[C7] Stuck here on my own now, diggin’ down deep [F C7] I don’t understand it, but I ain’t losin’ sleep [F9 C F9 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:} [C7] 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

{(C7 for a few more bars)}

[C7] I sold my old piano for the rent [F C7] I loaded up on bug spray and I found my daddy’s tent [F9 C F9 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

[C7] I guess I could’ve flown or took a train [F C7] But you won’t see a moose, if you’re sittin’ on a plane [F9 C F9 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}

{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 2x over Chorus – stay on last G 4x – don’t hit last C7):} [C7 F G C7 Em7 F G G G G]

{Chorus (with different lyrics):} [C7] Alaska, Alaska…I’ll stay right here in Alaska [F G (stop time)] 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 [G] I’ll stay right here…I’ll stay right here [G] I’ll stay right here…I’ll stay right here [G] I’ll stay right here…I’ll stay right here

[G7] {(G Mixolydian Jam)}

[G] I’ll stay right here…I’ll stay right here [G] I’ll stay right here…I’ll stay right here [G] I’ll stay right here…I’ll stay right here [G] I’ll stay right here…I’ll stay right here
