Alaska

{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

{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
