F                         Am
  Took a picture of you there
                       F              Am
By the side of the road, red flannel shirt
                        Bb    Gm7
And a sad look in your eyes
F                  Am
  Spring of ninty-one
                         F                           Am
You were the dancing girl, I was the kid behind the drums
                    Bb   Gm7
You said don’t be so shy
              Bb    Gm7
If you don’t mind

[Pre-Chorus]
C                 C
  It’s not emotional

[Chorus]
                   F    Dm7/F
‘Cause everybody knows
           Gm7         C
The lengths I would go
                 F        Dm7/F
To put my arms around you
              Gm7          C
Your mountains  in the snow
             Dm                  F9
I’d love to stay, In the coldest state
              Bb              Bbm
But summer’s gone, And I must go
  Bbm7 C*
Alaska
            F    Am
I’m coming home
F    Am

[Verse 2]
F                    Am
  You said I lost my way
                    F                      Am
I took another step, and if it snows all day
                 Bb         Gm7
Well, don’t be so surprised
F               Am
  All winter long
                  F    F                        Am
Cold water in the tap, reading books on the stairs
                      Bb      Gm7
And the radio playing   Gypsy
                  Bb     Gm7
Alaska, don’t you miss me

[Pre-Chorus]
C                 C7
  It’s not emotional
C                 C7
  It’s not emotional

[Chorus]
                   F    Dm7/F
‘Cause everybody knows
           Gm7         C
The lengths I would go
                 F        Dm7/F
To put my arms around you
              Gm7          C
Your mountains  in the snow
             Dm                  F9
I’d love to stay, in the coldest state
              Bb              Bbm
But summer’s gone, and I must  go
  Bbm7   C
Alaska
  Bbm7   C
Alaska
           F      Am
I’m coming home
