Verse 1
D 
I mushed  (D major) from Port Barren
A 
D 
through a blizzard  (A major) of snow  (D major) 
Been out prospecting for
two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon
So I took a little stroll to
G 
D 
the  (G major) Red Dog Saloon  (D major) 
A 
As I walked in the door  (A major) 
D 
the music was clear  (D major) 
The prettiest voice I had
heard in two years
The song she was singin' made
a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
G

it's  (G major) forty below  (D major) 
(When it's springtime in Alaska
G 
D 
it's  (G major) forty  (D major) below)

It was  (D major) red headed Lil who
A 
D 
 (A major) was singin' so sweet  (D major)

I reached for the gal who

around  (G major) the saloon  (D major) 
A 
Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly  (A major) bear

D 
I was as innocent  (A major) as I could be  (D major) I didn't
