(F)Lost up in (C)no-man's land 
In the (G7)Northwest Terri(C)tories 
They were (F)lost up in (C)no-man's land 
The (G7)Marten Hartwell (C)story 
The (G7)Marten Hartwell (C)story 
 
On November the 8th of '72 
(G7)North of the Arctic (C)Circle 
A plane took off from Cambridge Bay 
And the (G7)pilot's name was (C)Hartwell 
He (F)had to make it to (C)Yellowknife 
Al(G7)though the night was (C)stormin' 
To (F)save the lives of an (C)Eskimo boy 
And a (G7)pregnant Eskimo (C)woman. 
 
"Oh, Mr. Hartwell," said the nurse 
"I (G7)pray that you will (C)guide us 
To save this woman with her child 
And the (G7)boy with appendi(C)citis." 
But the (F)wind, it blew and the (C)storm, it grew 
And the (G7)signal of Kan(C)twoita                      <-- "Kantwoita"? 
They (F)missed by miles and (C)flying wild 
They (G7)crashed beside Lake (C)Hota. 
 
Chorus 
 
Now Judy Hill, the federal nurse 
She (G7)never lived to (C)waken 
And the life of the mother and her child 
Were G7
