D A D G D A D

[Verse]
D            A           G            D
When I was a child and I lived in the city
             Bm     G      A
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
      D                         G             D
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
          Bm           A              D
Somehow I knew that Id live there one day

[Verse]
                      A            G           D
Well, it took me some growin and a fair bit of schoolin
                    Bm         G          A
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
      D                        G              D
And I felt like a loser, but I turned out the winner
               Bm          A           D
When I came to Alaska, the land that I love

[Chorus]
A                G            D
Heres to Alaska, heres to the people
Bm           Bm/A     G            A
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
D                     G      D
Heres to my life in a chosen country
         A          D
Heres to Alaska and me

                A        G          D
I was born in a cabin on Little Mul chatna
               Bm          G          A
Raised in hard times but I had a good life

>From the first time I flew with my father a singin
                Bm        A           D
I knew that I?d wind up a bush pilots wife
                  A          G            D
We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
             Bm            G         A
Wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
   D                       G            D
We live every day like the first or the last one
                Bm       A         D
With nothing to lose and heaven to gain

[Chorus]
A                G            D
Heres to Alaska, heres to the people
Bm           Bm/A     G            A
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
D                     G      D
Heres to my life in a chosen country
         A          D
Heres to Alaska and me

Oh, for a fire on a cold winters night
             Bm          G              A
Once more to gaze at the great Northern lights
    D                    G             D
For all of the beauty my children will see
         A          D
Heres to Alaska and me
