Alaska or Bust
By Andrew Peterson

---------------------------------------------

NO CAPO

V1:
G+G               A minorAm
Margie, won't you listen to an old man's wish?
      B minorBm             C majorC
Well, They say it's mighty pretty in Alaska
  G+G               A minorAm
My daddy used to talk about those deep-sea fish
      B minorBm                 C majorC
So there's something, darling, that I want to ask you
           G+G  C majorC
So don't you turn me down
      G+G  C majorC
Don't start now

V2:
    G+G               A minorAm
In the morning we would listen to the cattle calling
 B minorBm         C majorC
Lowing in the lands of Okeechobee
      G+G                 A minorAm
Where it's flatter than the cardboard on the carport floor
    B minorBm                  C majorC
And the cattails seem to wave just like they know me
      FF
Ah, but Enoch in the tackle shop
   D MajorD       C majorC
Goes on about the salmon caught
   B/G               C2
The time he and his brother sailed to Juneau


CHORUS
    C majorC        D MajorD
So get in, I'll do the drive
   C majorC                G+G
Your bag?s already packed and in the truck
       C majorC         D MajorD
So Margie get in, put down those dishes
  A minorAm               C majorC C#/C
The town will see us go if we're in luck
  D MajorD           G+G   C majorC  G+G  C majorC
So come on it?s Alaska or bust

V3:
     G+G                  A minorAm
I've been holding down this farm that daddy left me, darling
  B minorBm               C majorC
The kids have married off and moved away
    G+G               A minorAm
And the doctor says I'm healthy for an old man dying
  B minorBm               C majorC
I'm well enough to seize a few more days

CHORUS 2
    C majorC        D MajorD
So get in, I'll do the drive
   C majorC                G+G
Your bag?s already packed and in the truck
       C majorC          D MajorD
So Margie get in, these bones are dry
     A minorAm       B minorBm        C majorC C#/C
I?ve been running but the cancer's catching up
  D MajorD            G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
So come on, it's Alaska or bust

V4:
      G+G               A minorAm
There were days when I imagined that the clouds were mountains
B minorBm             C majorC
Towering above the rolling ocean
     G+G
And I was sailing on my tractor
    A minorAm
Turning hay out in the pasture
     B minorBm              C majorC
Catching salmon of my own while I was mowing


CHORUS 3
    C majorC        D MajorD
So get in, I'll do the drive
   C majorC                G+G
Your bag?s already packed and in the truck
       C majorC          E MajorE
So Margie get in, there's not much time
     A minorAm       B minorBm        C majorC
I?ve been running but the cancer's catching up
A minorAm          B minorBm       C majorC C#/C
The town will see us go if we're in luck
  D MajorD            G+G
So come on, it's Alaska or bust
C majorC     G+G
Alaska or bust
  C majorC         G+G
So don't you turn me down
C majorC      G+G
Don?t start now


Listen to the song for picking and hammer-ons. Pretty simple.
