Verse 1
(G major) When it's springtime in Alaska
it's forty (C major) below (G major)
I mushed from Point Barrow through
a (D major) blizzard of snow (G major)
Been out prospecting for
two years or so
Pulled (D major) into Fairbanks (G major) the city was a boom
So I (D major) took a (G major) little stroll to
the Red Dog Saloon
(Yes he took a little stroll to
the Red Dog Saloon)
Verse 2
When I (G major) walked through the door
the music (D major) was (G major) clear
The prettiest voice I had
heard in two years
The song she kept singin' would make
a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska
it's (C major) forty below
(G major) (When it's springtime in Alaska
it's (C major) forty (G major) below)

Verse 3
It was red headed Lil that
was (F major) singin' (D major) so sweet (G major)
I reached down and took the
snowpacks off of my feet
I reached for the gal who
was singing the tune
We did the (D major) Eskimo (G major) hop all around (C major) the saloon
(G major) (We did the Eskimo hop all around
the saloon)
Verse 4
Where the caribou (G major) crawl and
the grizzly (D major) (G major) bear hug
We did our dance on a kodiak rug
The song she kept singing would make
a man's blood run cold
When it's (B flat major) springtime in
Alaska (G major) it's forty (C major) below
(G major) (When it's springtime
in Alaska it's forty below)
Verse 5
I was as (G major) inno (D major) cent as I could (G major) be
I didn't know that Lil was
Big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and he gave
it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska I'll
be (C minor) six feet be (G major) low
(When it's springtime in
Alaska he's (C major) six feet below) (G major)
When It’s Springtime in Alaska (It’s Forty Below)
