Phish - Alaska

Verse 1 & 2:
C5 
I always had to tell her to relax
        F5                              C5
And the cat can slip in doors, through multitudes of cracks
         F5                 C5         F5                  C5
And it?s funny what they?ll do, cause cracks lead outside too
       D5
When I asked her where she?s goin?
         G5
She said far away from you

C5
Stuck here on my own now, diggin? down deep
F5                          C5
I don?t understand it, but I ain?t losin? sleep
              F5  C5        F5                C5
I?m not gonna lay down, or head north out of town
D5        
I don?t know, but I think I?ll go
    G5
And try dog mushin? with an Eskimo

Chorus:
    C5
In Alaska, Alaska...I think I?ll try Alaska
F5                                G5
Somewhere she could wait for me, I?ll catch up just wait and see
C5                        E5       F5
Idaho, Nebraska...I don?t know I?ll ask her
G5                                    C5
I think I?ll try...I think I?ll try Alaska

Verse 3 & 4:
C5
I sold my old piano for the rent
F5                              C5
I loaded up on bug spray and I found my daddy?s tent
           F5   C5           F5    C5
Now I?m in high gear, doin? forty-five
D5       
I?m hummin? a tune, I won?t see the moon
     G5
Till sometime in July

C5
I guess I could?ve flown or took a train
F5                                    C5
But you won?t see a moose, if you?re sittin? on a plane
                F5      C5                 F5    C5
And now there?s no more road, but I got a light load
           D5
And if she isn?t in Alaska
     G5
I?ll stay and pan for gold
Chorus:
    C5
In Alaska, Alaska...I think I?ll try Alaska
F5                                G5
Somewhere she could wait for me, I?ll catch up just wait and see
C5                        E5       F5
Idaho, Nebraska...I don?t know I?ll ask her
G5                                    C5
I think I?ll try...I think I?ll try Alaska

Bridge:
B5                              E5
Just when I thought I?d end up alone
A5                         D5                D#5
Big ol? ?laskan mama come walkin? down the road

Chorus:
C5
Alaska, Alaska...I?ll stay right here in Alaska
F5                                G5
All settled down and hav?in fun, here in the land of the midnight sun
      C5                                 E5       F5
Is it time to call the pastor?...I don?t know I?ll ask her
G5                              
I?ll stay right here...I?ll stay right here      (repeat this part 4x)
