	  		Intro: 
          A                          D     A 
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below 

Verse 
A                                   E           A 
I mushed from Port Barrol through a blizzard of snow 
A 
Been out prospecting for two years or so 
                                E     A 
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boon 

Chorus 
A                                D          A 
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon 
                                   D          A 
Yes he took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon 

Verse 
A                              E         A 
When I walked in the door, the music was clear 
A 
Prettiest voice I had heard in two years 
                                             E         A 
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold 

 
A                                    D     A 
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below 
                                     D     A 
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below 


Verse 
A                               E          A 
It was red headed Luie that was singing so sweet 
A 
I reached down and took the snow packs off of my feet 
                                E          A 
I reached for the gal that was singing the tune 

 
A                           D          A 
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon 
                            D          A 
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon 


Verse
 
A                                E           A 
Where the caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug 
A 
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug 
A                                            E         A 
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold 


A                                     D     A 
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below 
                                     D     A 
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below 


Verse 
A                       E          A 
Well, I was as innocent as I could be 
A 
I didn't know that Luie was big Ed's wife to be 
                             E         A 
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw 

 
A                                       D        A 
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below 
                                        D        A 
When it's springtime in Alaska, he's    six feet below
