When I was a child and I lived in the city
Am F G
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
C F C
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
Am G C
Somehow I knew that Id live there one day
C G C F C G C
Well, it took me some growin and a fair bit of schoolin
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
And I felt like a loser, but I turned out the winner
When I came to Alaska, the land that I love
G F C
R: Heres to Alaska, heres to the people
Am Am/g F G
Heres to the wild and heres to the free
C F C
Heres to my life in a chosen country
G C
Heres to Alaska and me
I was born in a cabin on Little Mulchatna
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
From the first time I flew with my father a singin
I knew that I'd wind up a bush pilots wife
We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
Wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
We live every day like the first or the last one
With nothing to lose and heaven to gain
R: Heres to Alaska...
Am Am/g F C
Oh, for a fire on a cold winters night
Am F G
Once more to gaze at the great Northern lights
C F C
For all of the beauty my children will see
G C
Heres to Alaska and me
R: Heres to Alaska...
F C G C
Oh, heres to Alaska and me
