[Verse]C G F C
When I was a child and I lived in the city

I dreamed of Alaska so far away

And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers

Well, it took me some growin and a fair bit of schoolin

And a little bit of trouble to get on the move

And I felt like a loser, but I turned out the winner

When I came to Alaska, the land that I love

I was born in a cabin on Little Mul chatna
Am F G
Raised in hard times but I had a good life

>From the first time I flew with my father a singin
Am G C
I knew that I?d wind up a bush pilots wife

We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
Am F G
Wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain

We live every day like the first or the last one
Am G C
With nothing to lose and heaven to gain

Once more to gaze at the great Northern lights
