Springtime In Alaska Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]mushed from Port Barren
through [A]a blizzard of [D]snow
Been out prospecting for
two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon
So I took a little stroll to
the [G]Red Dog [D]Saloon
As I walked in the [A]door
the music was [D]clear
The prettiest voice I had
heard in two years
The song she was singin' made
a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
it's [G]forty [D]below
(When it's springtime in Alaska
it's [G]forty [D]below)

[Verse 2]
It was [D]red headed Lil who
[A]was singin' so [D]sweet
I reached down and took the
snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who
was singin' the tune
We did the Escimo hop all
[G]around the [D]saloon
Where the cariboo crawl and the [A]grizzly bear
[D]hug we did our dance on a Kodiac rug
The song she kept singing made
a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in
Alaska it's [G]forty below
[D][ b[G]anjo ][D]
I was as innocent [A]as I could [D]be I didn't
know Lil was big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and
he gave it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll
be [G]six feet be[D]low
(When it's springtime in Alaska
he'll be [G]six feet below)
[D]
