Sunday and it's rainin' in Alaska,
C D7 G G7
seven days I haven't seen the sun
C D G G/F# Em Em/D
Flyin' bush, flyin' low along the shoreline
C D7 G G7
Doin' ev'rithing I can to make it home.
C D G G7
I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains.
C D7 G G7
I can't wait to do what I will do.
C D7 G G/F# Em Em/D
Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly
C C/B Am D7 G
When I can't wait to get back home to you.
G D G G7
Three years from the war and settled down now,
C D7 G G7
I did my time and served my country well.
C D7 G G/F# Em Em/D
In the freedom I defended I fly beneath the North Star,
C D7 G G7
And I just don't know a better way to feel.
C D G G7
I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains.
C D7 G G7
I can't wait to do what I will do.
C D7 G G/F# Em Em/D
Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly
C C/B Am D7 G
When I can't wait to get back home to you.
Em C G
It's a quiet life out here among the mountains
Em A7 D7
In a cabin that was built with these two hands.
G D G G7
Carthy lies a sleep beside the glacier,
C D7 G G7
It's colder now, winter's in the air.
C D7 G G/F# Em Em/D
If you think they're wild It's just because they can't be broken,
C D7 G G7
It's a strong and gentle people livin' there.
C D G G7
I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains.
C D7 G G7
I can't wait to do what I will do.
C D7 G G/F# Em Em/D
Honey, did I never say how time goes by so slowly
C C/B Am D7 G
When I can't wait to get back home to you. (
