[G] Sunday and it's [D] rainin' in Alas [G] ka,
[C] Seven days, [D7] I haven't seen the sun [G]
Flyin' bush, [C] flyin' low [D] along the [G] shoreline [G/f#]
[Em] [Em/d] Doin' everything I [D7] can to make it home [G]
I can't wait [C] to see the Wrangell Moun [G] tains
I can't wait [C] to [D7] do what I will do [G]
[C] Honey, did I nev [D7] er say how time [G] goes [G/f#] by so
[Em]slowly [Em/d] when I [C] can't [C/b] wait to [D7] get back home
to   [G] you

[G] Three years from the war [D] and settled [G] down now,
I [C] did my time [D7] served my country well [G]
In the free [C] dom I defend [D7] ed I [G] fly be [G/f#]neath
The North [Em] Star [Em/d] and I just [C]don't know a [D7] better way
to feel [G]
I can't wait [C] to see the Wrangell Moun [G] tains
I can't wait [C] to [D7] do what I will do [G]
[C] Honey, did I nev [D7] er say how time [G] goes [G/f#] by so
[Em]slowly [Em/d] when I [C] can't [C/b] wait to [D7] get back home
to   [G] you

It's a [Em] quiet life out [C] here among the [G] mountains
In a [Em] cabin that was built [A7] with these [D7]two hands
Mc [G] Carthy lies asleep [D] beside the [G] glacier
It's [C] colder now, [D7] winters in the air [G]
If [C] you think their wild [D7] it's be [G] cause they [G/f#] can't
be
bro [Em] ken [Em/d] it's a strong [C] and gentle [D7] people livin'
there [G]
I can't wait [C] to see the Wrangell Moun [G] tains
I can't wait [C] to [D7] do what I will do [G]
[C] Honey, did I nev [D7] er say how time [G] goes [G/f#] by so
[Em]slowly [Em/d] when I [C] can't [C/b] wait to [D7] get back home
to
[G] you  [G] - [C] - [D7] -[G] - [C] - [D7] - [G]
[C] Honey did I nev [D7] er say how times [G] goes [G/f#] by so
[Em] slowly [Em/d] When [C] I can't [C/b] wait to [D7] get back
[D7] home to you [G] - [D] - [G
