INTRO



                            G         C
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92,
     F                                           C
With George Pratt, his partner and brother Billy too.
     F                                              C
They crossed the Yukon river, and found the bonanza gold,
 
Beneath that old white mountain, 
       G                    C
Just a little south-east of Nome.
                                          G             C
Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below.
   F                                                            C
He talked to his team of huskies, as they mushed on through the snow.
         F                                                        C
With the Northern Lights runnin' wild in the land of the midnight sun,
                                        G          C
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of 1901.




And where the river is windin',
    F
Big nuggets they're findin'.
C                   G                  C
North to Alaska, go north, the rush is on.

'Cause where the river is windin',
    F
Big nuggets they're findin'.

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand.
      G                                       D
Said "Sam, you're lookin' at a lonely, lonely man".
    G                                        D
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land,
                                      A              D
For one small band of gold to place on sweet Jenny's hand.
                              A                D
'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time.
G                                       D
You know Sam, a true love is so hard to find.
    G                              D
I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home,
         
Beneath that old white mountain,
       A                    D
Just a little south-east of Nome.
