[G]Margie, won't you listen to an[Am] old man's wish?
Well, They [Bm]say it's mighty pretty in Al[C]aska
My d[G]addy used to talk about those d[Am]eep-sea fish
So there's [Bm]something, darling, that I want to [C]ask you
So don't you turn me [G]down[C]
Don't start [G]now [C]

V2:
In the [G]morning we would listen to the [Am]cattle calling
Lo[Bm]wing in the lands of[C] Okeechobee
Where it's [G]flatter than the cardboard on the [Am]carport floor
And the [Bm]cattails seem to wave just like they [C]know me
Ah, but Eno[F]ch in the tackle shop
Goes [D]on about the sa[C]lmon caught
The t[B/G]ime he and his brother sailed to [C2]Juneau

[CHORUS]
So get [C]in, I'll do the [D]drive
Your [C]bag’s already packed and in th[G]e truck
So Margie get [C]in, put down those [D]dishes
The [Am]town will see us go if we're in [C]lu[C#/C]ck
So [D]come on it’s Alaska o[G]r bust[C] [G] [C]

V3:
I've been [G]holding down this farm that daddy lef[Am]t me, darling
The [Bm]kids have married off and moved [C]away
And the [G]doctor says I'm healthy for an [Am]old man dying
I'm [Bm]well enough to seize a few more [C]days

[CHORUS 2]
So get [C]in, I'll do the [D]drive
Your [C]bag’s already packed and in th[G]e truck
So Margie get [C]in, these bones are [D]dry
I’ve bee[Am]n running but th[Bm]e cancer's catchin[C]g [C#/C]up
So [D]come on, it's Alaska or [G]bus[C]t [G] [C]

V4:
There were [G]days when I imagined that the [Am]clouds were mountains
[Bm]Towering above the rolling [C]ocean
And I was [G]sailing on my tractor
Turning [Am]hay out in the pasture
Catching [Bm]salmon of my own while I was [C]mowing

[CHORUS 3]
So get [C]in, I'll do the [D]drive
Your [C]bag’s already packed and in th[G]e truck
So Margie get [C]in, there's not much [E]time
I’ve bee[Am]n running but th[Bm]e cancer's catchin[C]g up
[Am]The town will see us [Bm]go if we're in [C]lu[C#/C]ck
So [D]come on, it's Alaska or [G]bust
[C]Alaska or [G]bust
So [C]don't you turn me [G]down
[C]Don’t star[G]t now

Listen to the song for picking and hammer-ons. Pretty simple.
Great song. Thanks for playing!
