Phish - Alaska
Verse 1 & 2:
[C7]I always had to tell her to relax
And the [F]cat can slip in doors, through [C7]multitudes of cracks
And it?s [F9]funny what they?ll [C]do, cause [F9]cracks lead outside [C]too
When I [D7]asked her where she?s goin?
She said [G]far away from you
[C7]Stuck here on my own now, diggin? down deep
[F]I don?t understand it, but [C7]I ain?t losin? sleep
I?m not gonna [F9]lay [C]down, or [F9]head north out of [C]town
[D7]I don?t know, but I think I?ll go
And [G]try dog mushin? with an Eskimo
Chorus:
In A[C7]laska, Alaska...I think I?ll try Alaska
[F]Somewhere she could wait for me, [G]I?ll catch up just wait and see
[C7]Idaho, Nebraska...I don?t [Em7]know I?ll [F]ask her
[G]I think I?ll try...I think I?ll try A[C7]laska
Verse 3 & 4:
[C7]I sold my old piano for the rent
[F]I loaded up on bug spray and I [C7]found my daddy?s tent
Now I?m in [F9]high [C]gear, doin? [F9]forty-[C]five
[D7]I?m hummin? a tune, I won?t see the moon
Till [G]sometime in July
[C7]I guess I could?ve flown or took a train
[F]But you won?t see a moose, if you?re [C7]sittin? on a plane
And now there?s [F9]no more [C]road, but I got a [F9]light [C]load
And if she [D7]isn?t in Alaska
I?ll [G]stay and pan for gold
Chorus:
In A[C7]laska, Alaska...I think I?ll try Alaska
[F]Somewhere she could wait for me, [G]I?ll catch up just wait and see
[C7]Idaho, Nebraska...I don?t [Em7]know I?ll [F]ask her
[G]I think I?ll try...I think I?ll try A[C7]laska
Bridge:
[B]Just when I thought I?d end up [E]alone
[A]Big ol? ?laskan mama come [D]walkin? down the [D#7]road
(jam 2x over chorus, hold the last G in chorus 4x, don't go to the last C7)
Chorus:
[C7]Alaska, Alaska...I?ll stay right here in Alaska
[F]All settled down and hav?in fun, [G]here in the land of the midnight sun
Is it [C7]time to call the pastor?...I don?t [Em7]know I?ll [F]ask her
[G]I?ll stay right here...I?ll stay right here (repeat this part 4x)
