[Intro]
G   D/F#   C    D
 
[Verse 1]
  G          D/F#           C      D
I took time out to write to my old friend
G           D/F#       C            D
 I walked across that burning bridge
G           D/F#         C     D
 Mailed my letter off to Dallas
        G     D/F#     C      D     G     D/F#
but her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska
 
[Verse 2]
C        D  G    D/F#             C            D
 She said,   hey girl, it's about time you wrote
          G        D/F#              C         D
It's been over two years you know my old friend
        G           D/F#     C          D
Take me back to the days of foreign telegrams
        G         D/F#
And the all night rock and rolling
D        D         G        D/F#     C      D
Hey 'Chel  we were wild then
 
[Chorus 1]

 Hey 'Chel, you know it's kind of funny
G     D/F#   C           D
Texas always seemed so big
        G                  D/F#     C           D
But you know you're in the largest state in the union
            G        D/F#    C        D
When you're anchored down in Anchorage
 
 
[Verse 3]
G    D/F#              C           D
 Hey girl, I think the last time I saw you
    G             D/F#        C      D
Was on me and Leroy's wedding day
G     D/F#     C           D             G     D/F#     C      D
 What was the name of that love song you played
C     D          G   D/F#  C           D          G    D/F#   C     D
 I forgot how it goes,      I don't recall how it goes

New York city, imagine that
          G          D/F#                C           D
Tell me... What's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker?

But you know you're in the largest state in the union
            G        D/F#    C        D
When you're anchored down in Anchorage
   G         D/F#       C         D
Oh Anchorage              Anchored down in
