North To Alaska
By Johnny Horton

Intro:
C                                                   G7
Way up north (north to Alaska) way up north (north to Alaska)
C                       G7                    C
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

                                    G7                 C
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
       F                                                      C  
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
        F                                                                 C 
They crossed the Yukon River and found the bo-nan-za gold

                    F             C              G7                     C
Below that old White Mountain just a little southeast of Nome
                                                     G7            C 
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to valleys far below
     F                                                                             C
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow
            F                                                                            C
With the northern lights a-running wild in the land of the mid-night sun

                       F           C                   G7                      C
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nine-teen-one
                                           F         
Where the river is wind--ing big nug-gets they're finding
C                       G7                    C 
North to Alaska go north the rush is on

                                                     G7
Way up north (north to Alaska) way up north (north to Alaska)
C                           G7                   C
North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on

                                         G7           C
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
       F                                                    C    
Said Sam you're a-looking at a lone-ly lone-ly man
    F                                                C
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
                  F         C                     G7                        C    
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jen-ny's hand

                                           G7                 C
Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
    F                                                  C 
Re-member Sam a true love is so hard to find
    F                                              C           
I'd build for my Jenny a hon-ey--moon home
                    F             C                     G7               C 
Below that old White Mountain just a little south-east of Nome

                                                     G7
Way up north (north to Alaska) way up north (north to Alaska)
C                           G7                   C
North to Alaska a-go north the rush is on
