Standard (EADGBE)

I always had to tell her to relax

 And the cat can slip in doors, through multitudes of cracks

 And it’s funny what they’ll do, cause cracks lead outside too

 When I asked her where she’s goin’

 She said far away from you

Stuck here on my own now, diggin’ down deep

I don’t understand it, but I ain’t losin’ sleep

 I’m not gonna lay down, or head north out of town

I don’t know, but I think I’ll go

 And try dog mushin’ with an Eskimo

Chorus

 In Alaska, Alaska...I think I’ll try Alaska

Somewhere she could wait for me, I’ll catch up just wait and see

Idaho, Nebraska...I don’t know I’ll ask her

I think I’ll try...I think I’ll try Alaska

Verse 3 & 4:

I sold my old piano for the rent

I loaded up on bug spray and I found my daddy’s tent

 Now I’m in high gear, doin’ forty-five

I’m hummin’ a tune, I won’t see the moon

 Till sometime in July

I guess I could’ve flown or took a train

But you won’t see a moose, if you’re sittin’ on a plane

 And now there’s no more road, but I got a light load

 And if she isn’t in Alaska

 I’ll stay and pan for gold

Chorus

 In Alaska, Alaska...I think I’ll try Alaska

Somewhere she could wait for me, I’ll catch up just wait and see

Idaho, Nebraska...I don’t know I’ll ask her

I think I’ll try...I think I’ll try Alaska

Bridge

Just when I thought I’d end up alone

Big ol’ ‘laskan mama come walkin’ down the road

(jam 2x over chorus, hold the last G in chorus 4x, don't go to the last C7)

Chorus

Alaska, Alaska...I’ll stay right here in Alaska

All settled down and hav’in fun, here in the land of the midnight sun

 Is it time to call the pastor?...I don’t know I’ll ask her

I’ll stay right here...I’ll stay right here (repeat this part 4x)
