Biography:
Andrew Peterson has earned a place as one of Christian music’s most respected singer/songwriters, crafting music that splits the difference between groundbreaking folk-rock band Caedmon’s Call and the late, great Rich Mullins. His string of artistically excellent records began with the top 10 radio single “Nothing To Say,” and includes the lush Love & Thunder, Easter-themed Resurrection Letters, Vol. 2, and his newest masterwork Counting Stars, which took the number one spot on the iTunes Christian chart on its release.

Alaska or Bust
By Andrew Peterson
---------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
V1:
G Am
Margie, won't you listen to an old man's wish?
Bm C
Well, They say it's mighty pretty in Alaska
G Am
My daddy used to talk about those deep-sea fish
Bm C
So there's something, darling, that I want to ask you
G C
So don't you turn me down
G C
Don't start now
V2:
G Am
In the morning we would listen to the cattle calling
Bm C
Lowing in the lands of Okeechobee
G Am
Where it's flatter than the cardboard on the carport floor
Bm C
And the cattails seem to wave just like they know me
F
Ah, but Enoch in the tackle shop
D C
Goes on about the salmon caught
B/G C2
The time he and his brother sailed to Juneau
CHORUS
C D
So get in, I'll do the drive
C G
Your bag’s already packed and in the truck
C D
So Margie get in, put down those dishes
Am C C#/C
The town will see us go if we're in luck
D G C G C
So come on it’s Alaska or bust
V3:
G Am
I've been holding down this farm that daddy left me, darling
Bm C
The kids have married off and moved away
G Am
And the doctor says I'm healthy for an old man dying
Bm C
I'm well enough to seize a few more days
CHORUS 2
C D
So get in, I'll do the drive
C G
Your bag’s already packed and in the truck
C D
So Margie get in, these bones are dry
Am Bm C C#/C
I’ve been running but the cancer's catching up
D G C G C
So come on, it's Alaska or bust
V4:
G Am
There were days when I imagined that the clouds were mountains
Bm C
Towering above the rolling ocean
G
And I was sailing on my tractor
Am
Turning hay out in the pasture
Bm C
Catching salmon of my own while I was mowing
CHORUS 3
C D
So get in, I'll do the drive
C G
Your bag’s already packed and in the truck
C E
So Margie get in, there's not much time
Am Bm C
I’ve been running but the cancer's catching up
Am Bm C C#/C
The town will see us go if we're in luck
D G
So come on, it's Alaska or bust
C G
Alaska or bust
C G
So don't you turn me down
C G
Don’t start now
Listen to the song for picking and hammer-ons. Pretty simple.
Great song. Thanks for playing!
