          D              Dsus4  D       G                D               
There are times I fear I lose myself, I don't know who I am, 
      G         Em     D        G       A7sus4    A7 
I get caught up in the struggle and the strain. 
        D              Dsus4 D        G             D 
With my back against a stone wall, my finger in the dam, 
    G      Em           D     G    A7sus4    A7 
I'm losing strength and going down again. 
       D            Dsus4     D    G                   D 
When I take a look around me,   my eyes can't find the sun,  
        G       Em      D      G     A7sus4    A7 
there's nothing wild as far as I can see. 
        D               Dsus4   D     G              D 
Then my heart turns to Alaska     and freedom on the run,  
G     Em       D      G       A7sus4    A7 
I can hear her spirit calling me 

G      Em  D      G  Em    D 
to the mountains,    I can rest there. 
G      Em   D     G  Em        A7  
To the ri...vers,    I will be strong. 
G      Em   D      G  Em        D 
To the fo...rests,    I'll find peace there.  
G      Em   D   G    Em   A7        D       Dsus4  D  G    D     
To the wild country,        where I belong. 

D    Dsus4  D  G  Em  D 

      D                Dsus4  D    G                D 
Oh, I know sometimes I worry    on worldly ways and means,  
    G     Em      D      G         A7sus4    A7 
and I can see the future   killing me. 
     D           Dsus4    D    G              D 
On a misbegotten highway    of prophesies and dreams,  
  G       Em      D    G    A7sus4    A7 
a road to nowhere and eternity. 
      D              Dsus4    D     G                D 
And I know it's just changes    and mankind marching on, 
G      Em       D       G     A7sus4    A7  
I know we can't live in yesterday. 
       D                   Dsus4   D     G                D 
But compared to what we're losing    and what it means to me, 
    G       Em       D         G    A7sus4    A7 
I'd give my life and throw the rest away 

G      Em  D      G  Em    D 
to the mountains,    I can rest there. 
G      Em   D     G  Em        A7  
To the ri...vers,    I will be strong. 
G      Em   D      G  Em        D 
To the fo...rests,    I'll find peace there.  
G      Em   D   G    Em   A7        D          
To the wild country,        where I belong. 
G      Em   D   G    Em   A7        D       Dsus4  D  G    D     
To the wild country,        where I belong.
