D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G  D MajorD  D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD

     D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD    G+G        D MajorD
There are times I fear I lose myself, I don't know who I am,
   G+G     E minorEm   D MajorD    G+G    A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
I get caught up in the struggle and the strain.
    D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD    G+G       D MajorD
With my back against a stone wall, my finger in the dam,
  G+G   E minorEm      D MajorD   G+G  A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
I'm losing strength and going down again.
    D MajorD      Dsus4Dsus4   D MajorD  G+G          D MajorD
When I take a look around me,  my eyes can't find the sun,
    G+G    E minorEm   D MajorD   G+G   A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
there's nothing wild as far as I can see.
    D MajorD        Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD   G+G       D MajorD
Then my heart turns to Alaska   and freedom on the run,
G+G   E minorEm    D MajorD   G+G    A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
I can hear her spirit calling me

G+G   E minorEm D MajorD   G+G E minorEm  D MajorD
to the mountains,  I can rest there.
G+G   E minorEm  D MajorD   G+G E minorEm    A7A7
To the ri...vers,  I will be strong.
G+G   E minorEm  D MajorD   G+G E minorEm    D MajorD
To the fo...rests,  I'll find peace there.
G+G   E minorEm  D MajorD  G+G  E minorEm  A7A7    D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G  D MajorD
To the wild country,    where I belong.

D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD

   D MajorD        Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD  G+G        D MajorD
Oh, I know sometimes I worry  on worldly ways and means,
  G+G   E minorEm   D MajorD   G+G     A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
and I can see the future  killing me.
   D MajorD      Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD  G+G       D MajorD
On a misbegotten highway  of prophesies and dreams,
 G+G    E minorEm   D MajorD  G+G  A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
a road to nowhere and eternity.
   D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD   G+G        D MajorD
And I know it's just changes  and mankind marching on,
G+G   E minorEm    D MajorD    G+G   A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
I know we can't live in yesterday.
    D MajorD          Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD   G+G        D MajorD
But compared to what we're losing  and what it means to me,
  G+G    E minorEm    D MajorD     G+G  A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
I'd give my life and throw the rest away

G+G   E minorEm D MajorD   G+G E minorEm  D MajorD
to the mountains,  I can rest there.
G+G   E minorEm  D MajorD   G+G E minorEm    A7A7
To the ri...vers,  I will be strong.
G+G   E minorEm  D MajorD   G+G E minorEm    D MajorD
To the fo...rests,  I'll find peace there.
G+G   E minorEm  D MajorD  G+G  E minorEm  A7A7    D MajorD
To the wild country,    where I belong.
G+G   E minorEm  D MajorD  G+G  E minorEm  A7A7    D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G  D MajorD
To the wild country,    where I belong.
