Alaska or Bust
By Andrew Peterson
---------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
V1:
G Am
Margie, won't you listen to an old man's wish?
Bm C
Well, They say it's mighty pretty in Alaska
G Am
My daddy used to talk about those deep-sea fish
Bm C
So there's something, darling, that I want to ask you
G C
So don't you turn me down
G C
Don't start now
V2:
G Am
In the morning we would listen to the cattle calling
Bm C
Lowing in the lands of Okeechobee
G Am
Where it's flatter than the cardboard on the carport floor
Bm C
And the cattails seem to wave just like they know me
F
Ah, but Enoch in the tackle shop
D C
Goes on about the salmon caught
B/G C2
The time he and his brother sailed to Juneau
CHORUS
C D
So get in, I'll do the drive
C G
Your bag’s already packed and in the truck
C D
So Margie get in, put down those dishes
Am C C#/C
The town will see us go if we're in luck
D G C G C
So come on it’s Alaska or bust
V3:
G Am
I've been holding down this farm that daddy left me, darling
Bm C
The kids have married off and moved away
G Am
And the doctor says I'm healthy for an old man dying
Bm C
I'm well enough to seize a few more days
CHORUS 2
