INTRO


Big Sam left Seattle in the [G]year of '9[C]2,
With [F]George Pratt, his partner and brother Billy [C]too.
They [F]crossed the Yukon river, and found the bonanza [C]gold,
Beneath that old white mountain,
Just a [G]little south-east of [C]Nome.
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the [G]valleys far be[C]low.
He [F]talked to his team of huskies, as they mushed on through the [C]snow.
With the [F]Northern Lights runnin' wild in the land of the midnight [C]sun,
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the [G]year of 190[C]1.


And where the river is windin',
Big [F]nuggets they're findin'.
[C]North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on.

'Cause where the river is windin',
Big [F]nuggets they're findin'.
[C]North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on.[G]
[C]North to Alaska, go [G]north, the rush is [C]on.[D]


[D]George turned to Sam with his [A]gold in his [D]hand.
Said "[G]Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely, lonely [D]man".
I'd [G]trade all the gold that's buried in this [D]land,
For one small band of gold to place on[A] sweet Jenny's [D]hand.
'Cause a man needs a woman to [A]love him all the [D]time.
[G]You know Sam, a true love is so hard to [D]find.
I'd [G]build for my Jenny a honeymoon [D]home,
Beneath that old white mountain,
Just a [A]little south-east of [D]Nome.


Yeah where the river is windin',
Big [G]nuggets they're findin'.
[D]North to Alaska, go [A]north, the rush is [D]on.
North to Alaska, go [A]north, the rush is [D]on.[A]
[D]North to Alaska, go [A]north, the rush is [D]on.
Way up [A]north.....
[D]North to Alaska, go [A]north, the rush is [D]on.
North to Alaska, go [A]north, the rush is [D]on.
Way up north, way up [A]north...
[D]North to Alaska, go [A]north, the rush is [D]on.
North to Alaska, go [A]north, the rush is [D]on.
