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 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.
G Em D G Em A7 D Dsus4 D G D
