When Its Springtime In Alaska Its Forty Below by Johnny Cash - Guitar Chords

Version 1
            [intro]
          A                          D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

[verse]
A                                   E           A
I mushed from Port Barrol through a blizzard of snow
A
Been out prospecting for two years or so
                                E     A
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a boon

[chorus]
A                                D          A
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon
                                   D          A
Yes he took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon

[verse]
A                              E         A
When I walked in the door, the music was clear
A
Prettiest voice I had heard in two years
                                             E         A
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

[chorus]
A                                    D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
                                     D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

[verse]
A                               E          A
It was red headed Luie that was singing so sweet
A
I reached down and took the snow packs off of my feet
                                E          A
I reached for the gal that was singing the tune

[chorus]
A                           D          A
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon
                            D          A
We did the Eskimo hop all around the saloon

[verse]
A                                E           A
Where the caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug
A
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
A                                            E         A
The song she kept singing would make a man's blood run cold

[chorus]
A                                     D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
                                     D     A
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below

[verse]
A                       E          A
Well, I was as innocent as I could be
A
I didn't know that Luie was big Ed's wife to be
                             E         A
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw

[chorus]
A                                       D        A
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below
                                        D        A
When it's springtime in Alaska, he's    six feet below
