    Verse 1
    I 
    mushed 
    from 
    Point 
    Barrow 

    through 
    blizzard 
    of 
    snow. 

    Been 
    out 
    prospectin' 
    for 

    two 
    years 
    or 
    so. 

    Pulled 
    into 
    Fairbanks, 
    the 
    city 
    was 
    a-boom. 

    So 
    So 
    I took 
    a 
    little 
    stroll 
    to 

    the 
    Red 
    Dog 
    sea-loon. 

    Verse 2
    As 
    As 
    I 
    walked 
    in 
    the 
    door, 

    the 
    music 
    was 
    clear. 

    The 
    purtiest 
    voice 
    I 
    had 
    heard 

    in 
    two 
    years. 

    The song 
    she 
    was 
    singin' 
    made 

    a man's 
    blood 
    run 
    cold. 

    When 
    its springtime 
    in 
    Alaska 

    it's 
    forty 
    below. 

    (When it's 
    springtime 
    in 
    Alaska 

    it's 
    forty 
    below.) 

    Verse 3
    It was 
    Redhead 
    Lil 
    who 

    was 
    singin' 
    so 
    sweet. 

    I 
    reached 
    down 
    and 
    took 
    the 

    snow 
    packs 
    off 
    my 
    feet. 

    I 
    reached 
    for 
    the 
    gal 
    who 

    was 
    singin' 
    the 
    tune. 

    We 
    did 
    the 
    eskeemo hop 
    all 

    around 
    the 
    sea-loon. 

    Verse 4
    With 
    With 
    a caribou 
    crawl 

    and 
    a 
    grizzly 
    bear 
    hug. 

    We 
    did 
    our 
    dance 
    on 
    a 
    kodiak 
    rug. 

    The song 
    she 
    kept 
    singin' 
    made 

    a man's 
    blood 
    run 
    cold. 

    When 
    it's springtime 
    in 
    Alaska 

    it's 
    forty 
    below. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    I 
    was 
    as 
    innocent 
    as 
    I 
    could 
    be. 

    I 
    didn't 
    now 
    Lil 
    was 
    Big 
    Ed's 
    wife-to-be. 

    He 
    He 
    He 
    took 
    out 
    his 
    knife 

    and 
    he 
    gave 
    it 
    a 
    throw. 

    When 
    it's springtime 
    in 
    Alaska 
    I'll 

    be 
    six 
    feet 
    be
    low. 

    (When it's 
    springtime 
    in 
    Alaska 

    he'll 
    be 
    six 
    feet below.)

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
