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