North to Alaska - Johnny Horton

Way up [G]north (north to Alaska) way up [D]north (north to Alaska)
[G]North to Alaska a-go [D7]north the rush is [G]on
[G]North to Alaska a-go [D7]north the rush is [G]on

Big [G]Sam left Seattle in the [D7]year of ninety-[G]two
With [C]George Pratt his partner and brother Billy, [G]too
They [C]crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza [G]gold
Below that old White Mountain just a [D7]little southeast of [G]Nome

Sam [G]crossed the majestic mountains to [D7]valleys far be[G]low
He [C]talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the [G]snow
With the [C]northern lights a-running wild in the land of the midnight [G]sun
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the [D7]year of nineteen-one

	[G]Where the river is windin' big [C]nuggets they're findin'
	[G]North to Alaska a-go [D7]north the rush is [G]on
	Way up [G]north (north to Alaska) way up [D]north (north to Alaska)
	[G]North to Alaska a-go [D7]north the rush is [G]on

[G]George turned to Sam with his [D7]gold in his [G]hand
Said [C]Sam you're a-lookin' at a lonely, lonely [G]man
I'd [C]trade all the gold that's buried in this [G]land
For one small band of gold to place on [D7]sweet little Jenny's [G]hand

'Cause a [G]man needs a woman to [D7]love him all the [G]time
Re[C]member Sam a true love is so hard to [G]find
I'd [C]build for my Jenny a honeymoon [G]home
Below that old White Mountain just a [D7]little southeast of [G]Nome
