For years and years and years I?ve kept on searching
      D5                               G5

But I must admit
      D5                                   G5

C5      G5                C5         F5          C5        D5

I?ve had no luck...in fact...



C5             G5        C5
I recall when I was in Alaska
                       G5                 C5
I Have seen the sun at twelve-o'clock at night. 
                   G5            C5
I've seen the waterfalls at old Niagara
    D5                              G5
I confess  it is a most impressive sight.

I?d love to see a certain thing
    C5
But if it's not to be,
    D5
I'd like to meet somebody else
    G5
Who saw what I can't see.
