Tom: Dm
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
[Outro]
