Hank Snow – When Its Springtime In Alaska (Guitar)

G          C                          F       C
(When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below)

C                                    G           C
I mushed from Point Barrow through a blizzard of snow

C
Been out prospecting for two years or so

                                    C/G
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boon

C                                 F         C
So I took a little stroll, to the Red Dog Saloon

C                            G7        C
As I walked in the door, the music was clear

C
The purdiest voice I had heard in two years

                                             C/G
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold

C                                    F     C
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

                                      F     C
(When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below)

C                              G          C
It was red headed Lil' who was singin' so sweet

C
I reached down and took the snow packs off of my feet

                                      C/G
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune

C                           F           C
We did the Eskimo hop, all around the saloon

C                          G            C
With a caribou crawl and a grizzly bear hug

C
We did our dance on a kodiak rug

C                                                  C/G
The song she kept singin' would made a man's blood run cold

C                                    F     C
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

                                      F     C
(When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below)

C                  G          C
I was as innocent, as I could be

C
I didn't know Lil' was big Ed's wife to be

                                     C/G
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw

C                                       F          C
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below

                                          F          C
(When it's springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)

                                          F          C
(When it's springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)

                                          F          C
(When it's springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)
