Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[C]re ain't nothin' in the wo[G]rld[Am][C]
That can [F]take away my memor[Dm]ies
Of my [G]travels through the
great northwestern
[F]Mountain scenery
[C]With [G]my [C]woman by my [G]sid[Am]e[G]
With her [F]lips like cherry [Dm]wine
She [G]kissed me, said she loved me
As we [F]crossed the [C]borderline.

[Verse 2]
[C]
[CHORUS]
Don't you fly [F]away[Dm][G]
[C]woman of min[Am]e[G]
Don't you [C]fade away; don't
you be that kind
Don't you fly [F]away[Dm]
[G]wom[C]an of mine[Am]
[G]Tell me that you love me
As we [F]crossed the bor
[C]derline.[F][Dm][G]
[F][C]
If you're ever [G]in [Am]Alaska,
[G]Take a [F]message to my [Dm]friend
That [G]the glamor of the city life
Is as [F]empty as the [C]wind
It'll steal [G]away love's joy;
[Am]It'll [C]dri[F]ve a heart sto[C]ne bli[Dm]nd
Makes [G]a cold Alaskan winter
Seem like [F]something warm and

[Interlude 1]
fine.
