[Intro]
C*    G*    C*                    G*                 C     C
             North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
 
 
[Verse 1]
     C                       G                 C
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of nineteen-two
      F                                            C
With George Pratt, his partner and brother Billy too
       F                                              C
They crossed the Yukon river, and found the bonanza gold
                                         G                    C
Beneath that old white mountain, just a little south-east of Nome
 
 
[Verse 2]
    C                                     G              C
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below
     F                                                            C
He talked to his team of huskies, as they mushed on through the snow
          F                                                        C
With the Northern Lights runnin' wild in the land of the midnight sun
                                         G                C
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
And where the river is windin'
    F
Big nuggets they're findin'
C                    G                  C
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
 
'Cause where the river is windin'
    F
Big nuggets they're findin'
C                    G                  C    C    C    G    G
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
C                    G                  C    C    D    D
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                              A            D
George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand
       G                                        D
Said "Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely, lonely man"
    G                                         D
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
                                      A               D
For one small band of gold to place on sweet Jenny's hand
 
 
[Verse 4]
         D                    A                 D
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
G                                         D
You know Sam, a true love is so hard to find
    G                               D
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home
                                         A                    D
Beneath that old white mountain, just a little south-east of Nome
 
 
[Chorus]
               D
Yeah where the river is windin'
    G
Big nuggets they're findin'
D                    A                  D
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
                     A                  D    D    D    A    A
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
D                    A                  D    D    D
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on

North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on
