[Verse]
C            G           F            C
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

                      G            F           C
Well, it took me some growin and a fair bit of schoolin
                    Am         F          G
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
      C                        F              C
And I felt like a loser, but I turned out the winner
               Am          G           C
When I came to Alaska, the land that I love

[Chorus]
G                F            C
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

                G        F          C
I was born in a cabin on Little Mul chatna
               Am          F          G
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
          C                         F        C
>From the first time I flew with my father a singin
                Am        G           C
I knew that I?d wind up a bush pilots wife
                  G          F            C
We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
             Am            F         G
Wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
   C                       F            C
We live every day like the first or the last one
                Am       G         C
With nothing to lose and heaven to gain

[Chorus]
G                F            C
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

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
G                F            C
Heres to Alaska, heres to the people

Heres to the wild and heres to the free

Heres to my life in a chosen country
         G          C
Heres to Alaska and me
