           G5 D5  A5
Goin up to Alas ka  
          G5           D5        A5
Up to the land of the Midnight Sun 
          G5                                    F5       C5
Where the whale and the polar bear run oer the icy blue  

sea 
               G5   D5  A5
A Goin up to A las ka 
          G5             D5      A5
Up to the north and the pioneer life 
      G5
Where courage and strength still survive 
      F5          C5      D5
And a man can be free    
G5                         
American Child does the call of the wild 
     F5                          C5
Ever sing thru the mist of your dreams 
        G5                          G5   G5
Does it fly with the wind when you waken again 
          C5                        D5
When it?s gone do you know what it means 
        G5                              
Can you picture the time when a man had to find 
        F5                       C5
His own way through an unbroken land 
   G5                            G5          G5
Be fore the machine changed the blue and the green 
   C5                         D5
To something you can?t under stand 
G5                         
American Child theres a burning inside you 
     F5                          C5
That calls you away through the cold 
   G5                  G5             G5
To come back again to all that you?ve been 
          C5                          D5
Can?t you see that it?s time to come home 
       G5              
To the flowers and trees and the rivers and the seas 
        F5                         C5
And the earth who?s the mother of all 
  G5                         G5           G5
A promise once made will it shine will it fade 
        C5                       A5
Will we rise with the vision or fall 
              G5   D5  A5
Goin up to  A las ka  
          G5           D5        A5
Up to the land of the Midnight Sun 
          G5                                    F5        C5
Where the whale and the polar bear run oer the icy blue  

sea 
                G5   D5  A5
 A Goin up to A las ka  
          G5             D5       A5
Up to the north and the pioneer life 
      G5
Where courage and strenght still survive 
      F5          C5
And a man can be free 
           D5
Men can be free 
             G5   D5
Goin up to A las ka 
             G5   D5
Goin up to A las ka 
             G5   D5
Goin up to A las ka
