When I was a child and I lived in the city 
             Am     F      G
I dreamed of Alaska so far away 
      C                         F             C
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers 
          Am           G              C
Somehow I knew that Id live there one day

Well, it took me some growin and a fair bit of schoolin 
                    Am         F          G
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move 
      C                        F              C
And I felt like a loser, but I turned out the winner 
               Am          G           C
When I came to Alaska, the land that I love 
G                F            C
Heres to Alaska, heres to the people 
Am           Am/G     F            G
Heres to the wild and heres to the free 
C                     F      C
Heres to my life in a chosen country 
         G          C
Heres to Alaska and me

I was born in a cabin on Little Mul chatna 
               Am          F          G
Raised in hard times but I had a good life 
         C                         F        C
From the first time I flew with my father a singin 
                Am        G           C
I knew that I?d wind up a bush pilots wife 
                  G          F            C
We sleep near the sound of a slow running river 
             Am            F         G
Wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain 
   C                       F            C
We live every day like the first or the last one 
                Am                   C
With nothing to lose and G heaven to gain 
G                F            C
Heres to Alaska, heres to the people 
Am           Am/G     F            G
Heres to the wild and heres to the free 
C                     F      C
Heres to my life in a chosen country 
         G          C
Heres to Alaska and me 
Am        Am/G      F            C
Oh, for a fire on a cold winters night 
             Am          F              G
Once more to gaze at the great Northern lights 
    C                    F             C
For all of the beauty my children will see 
         G          C
Heres to Alaska and me 
G                F            C
Heres to Alaska, heres to the people 
Am           Am/G     F            G
Heres to the wild and heres to the free 
C                     F      C
Heres to my life in a chosen country 
         G          C
Heres to Alaska and me
