Intro.:  |(D) |(G)(D)|(G)(Em)|(D) | x 2

There are (D)times I fear I lose myself, I (G)don't know who I am (D)
I get (G)caught up (Em)in the strug-(D)-gle (G)and the strain (A)
With my (D)back against a stonewall, my (G)finger in the dam (D)
I'm (G)losin' (Em) strength and (D)goin' (G)down a-(A)gain

When I (D)take a look around me, my (G)eyes can't find the sun (D)
There's (G)nothing wild (Em) as (D)far as (G)I can see (A)
Then my (D)heart turns to Alaska and (G)freedom on the (D)run
(G)I can hear (Em) her (D)spirit (G)callin' (A)me

(Chorus)
(G)To the (Em)moun-(D)tains, (G) (Em)I can rest (D) there
(G)To the (Em)riv-(D)ers, (G) (Em)I will be strong (A)
(G)To the (Em)for-(D)est, (G) (Em)I'll find (D)peace there
(G)To the (Em)wild (D)coun-(G)try (Em) (A) where I be-(D)long

Inst.:  --- |(D) |(G)(Em)|(D) |(D) |(G)(D)|(D)(Em)|(D) |

Oh, I (D)know some times I worryin' on (G)worldly ways and (D)means
And (G)I can see (Em) the fu-(D)ture (G) killin' me (A)
On a (D)misbegotten highway of (G)prophecies and (D)dreams
A (G)road to no-(Em)-where (D)and e-(G)terni-(A)ty

And I (D)know its just changes, yes, and (G)mankind marchin' on (D)
(G)I know we (Em) can't live (D) in yes-(G)-terday (A)
But com-(D)pared to what were losin' and (G)what it means to (D)me
I'd (G)give my life (Em) and (D)throw the (G)rest a-(A)way

(Chorus)
(G)To the (Em)moun-(D)tains, (G) (Em)I can rest (D) there
(G)To the (Em)riv-(D)ers, (G) (Em)I will be strong (A)
(G)To the (Em)for-(D)est, (G) (Em)I'll find (D)peace there
(G)To the (Em)wild (D)coun-(G)try (Em) (A) I be-(D)long

(Tag)
(G)To the (Em)wild (D)coun-(G)try (Em) (A) where I be-(D)long
