Alaska and Me
John Denver (klr)
[C] - [G] - [C] - [F] - [C] - [G] - [C]
[C] When I was a [G] child and I [F] lived in the [C] city
I dreamed of [Am] Alaska [F] so far [G] away
And I [C] dreamed I was flying over [F] mountains and [C] glaciers
Somehow I [Am] knew that Id [G] live there one [C] day
[C] - [G] - [C] - [F] - [C] -[G] - [C]
Well, it took me some [G] growin and a [F] fair bit of [C] schoolin
And a little bit of [Am] trouble to [F] get on the [G] move
And I [C] felt like a loser, but I [F] turned out the [C] winner
When I came to [Am] Alaska, the [G] land that I [C] love
[G] Heres to Alaska, [F] heres to the [C] people
[Am] Heres to the [Am/g] wild and [F] heres to the [G] free
[C] Heres to my life in a [F] chosen [C] country
Heres to [G] Alaska and [C] me
[C] - [G] - [C] - [F] - [C] - [G] - [C]
I was born in a [G] cabin on [F] Little Mul [C] chatna
Raised in hard [Am] times but I [F] had a good [G] life
From the [C] first time I flew with my [F] father a [C] singin
I knew that I?d [Am] wind up a [G] bush pilots [C] wife
We sleep near the [G] sound of a [F] slow running [C] river
Wake up most [Am] mornings to a [F] drizzling [G] rain
We [C] live every day like the [F] first or the [C] last one
With nothing to [Am] lose and [G] heaven to [C] gain
[G] Heres to Alaska, [F] heres to the [C] people
[Am] Heres to the [Am/g] wild and [F] heres to the [G] free
[C] Heres to my life in a [F] chosen [C] country
Heres to [G] Alaska and [C] me
[Am] Oh, for a [Am/g] fire on a [F] cold winters [C] night
Once more to [Am] gaze at the [F] great Northern [G] lights
For [C] all of the beauty my [F] children will [C] see
Heres to [G] Alaska and [C] me
[G] Heres to Alaska, [F] heres to the [C] people
[Am] Heres to the [Am/g] wild and [F] heres to the [G] free
[C] Heres to my life in a [F] chosen [C] country
Heres to [G] Alaska and [C] me
[F] Oh, [C] heres to [G] Alaska and [C] me
Enjoy one and all...
