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.
