Verse 1
G 
Hey Ha!
Hey Husky Ma!
He came up to Alaska
to try and make a stride
C 
And pack his grub stick on his backpack,
G 
red -haired, clawed -back man
He headed for the gold fields
like a hammer -driven nail
C 
And thought he'd seek his fortune
D 
G 
along the Dawson Trail
D 
C 
Over the mountains, across the rivers,
D 
G 
mid -evening the snow
D 
G 
He'd cook his bacon and  his beans
A 
D 
at four to nine below
G 
When the nights were growing longer
and the north winds came to play
C 
Mike rounded up his mile of mutes
G 
and he bought himself a sleigh
He marched on down to Skagway
with a hundred pounds of gold
C 
And raced along with the U .S. Mail
D 
G 
when the air was blue and cold
D 
C 
Oh, the mountains crossed the rivers
D 
G 
knee -deep in the snow
D 
G 
It took his bacon and  his beans
A 
D 
at 49 below
G 
From Fairbanks down to White Pass,
Black broke that trail alone
C 
And the howling of the timber wolves
G 
made his hungry huskies moan
After days and days of darkness
and fighting ice and snow
C 
He knew he'd reach his journey's end
D 
G 
when he saw the town below
D 
C 
Over the mountains, cross the rivers,
D 
G 
ski deep in the snow
D 
G 
He'd cook his bacon and  his beans
A 
D 
G 
C 
G 
D 
at four to nine below
Eb 
Ab 
He struck it rich on Goldstream
with a dollar to the pan
Db 
And went back home to
a girl he loved,
a mighty happy man
Ab 
He  built himself a cabin
and raised a family
Db 
For a clod like Micah Sourdough
Eb 
made Alaskan history
Ab 
Eb 
Over the mountains, across the rivers,
Eb 
deep, deep in the snow
Eb 
He'd cook his bacon and his beans
Bb 
at four and a nine below
