'When It's Springtime in Alaska' by Johnny Horton - Guitar Tutorial

             G                                     D7          G  
I mushed from Point Barrow through a blizzard of snow 
  
Been out prospecting for two years or so 
  
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom 
             D7       G               C       G  
So I took a little stroll to the Reddog Saloon 
  
                             D7          G  
As I walked in the door the music was clear 
  
The purtiest voice I had heard in two years 
  
The song she was singing made a man's blood run cold 
                        D7      G        C    G  
When It's Springtime In Alas-ka it's forty below 
  
                               D7           G  
It was Red-headed Lil who was singing so sweet 
  
I reached down and took the snow packs off my feet 
  
I reached for the gal who was singing the tune 
            D7       G          C         G  
We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon 
  
                              D7           G  
With a Caribou Crawl and the Grizzly Bear Hug 
  
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug 
  
The song she kept singing made a man's blood run cold 
                        D7      G         C    G  
When It's Springtime In Alas-ka it's forty below 
  
                   D7        G  
I was as innocent as I could be 
  
I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be 
  
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw 
                         D7     G            C      G  
When It's Springtime In Alas-ka I'll be six feet below
