           G D  A
Goin up to Alas ka  
          G           D        A
Up to the land of the Midnight Sun 
          G                                    F       C
Where the whale and the polar bear run oer the icy blue  

sea 
               G   D  A
A Goin up to A las ka 
          G             D      A
Up to the north and the pioneer life 
      G
Where courage and strength still survive 
      F          C      D
And a man can be free    
G                         
American Child does the call of the wild 
     F                          C
Ever sing thru the mist of your dreams 
        G                          G7M   G7
Does it fly with the wind when you waken again 
          C                        D
When it?s gone do you know what it means 
        G                              
Can you picture the time when a man had to find 
        F                       C
His own way through an unbroken land 
   G                            G7M          G7
Be fore the machine changed the blue and the green 
   C                         D
To something you can?t under stand 
G                         
American Child theres a burning inside you 
     F                          C
That calls you away through the cold 
   G                  G7M             G7
To come back again to all that you?ve been 
          C                          D
Can?t you see that it?s time to come home 
       G              
To the flowers and trees and the rivers and the seas 
        F                         C
And the earth who?s the mother of all 
  G                         G7M           G7
A promise once made will it shine will it fade 
        C                       A
Will we rise with the vision or fall 
              G   D  A
Goin up to  A las ka  
          G           D        A
Up to the land of the Midnight Sun 
          G                                    F        C
Where the whale and the polar bear run oer the icy blue  

sea 
                G   D  A
 A Goin up to A las ka  
          G             D       A
Up to the north and the pioneer life 
      G
Where courage and strenght still survive 
      F          C
And a man can be free 
           D
Men can be free 
             G   D
Goin up to A las ka 
             G   D
Goin up to A las ka 
             G   D
Goin up to A las ka
