Johnny Cash – When Its Springtime In Alaska Its Forty Below (Guitar)

          A                          D     A

[Verse]
[tab]A                                   E           A
I mushed from Port Barrow through a blizzard of snow

A
Been out prospecting for two years or so

                                E     A
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boon

A                                D          A
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon

                                   D          A
Yes he took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon

A                              E         A
When I walked in the door, the music was clear

A
Prettiest voice I had heard in two years

                                             E         A
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

A                                    D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

                                     D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

A                               E          A
It was red headed Luie that was singing so sweet

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

                                E          A
I reached for the gal that was singing the tune

A                           D          A
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon

                            D          A
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon

A                                E           A
Where the caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug

A
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug

A                                            E         A
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

A                                     D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

                                     D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

A                       E          A
Well, I was as innocent as I could be

A
I didn't know that Luie was big Ed's wife to be

                             E         A
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw

A                                       D        A
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below

                                        D        A
When it's springtime in Alaska, he's    six feet below
