There are times I fear I lose myself, I don't know who I am,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
I get caught up in the struggle and the strain.
DDsus4DGD
With my back against a stone wall, my finger in the dam,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
I'm losing strength and going down again.
DDsus4DGD
When I take a look around me, my eyes can't find the sun,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
there's nothing wild as far as I can see.
DDsus4DGD
Then my heart turns to Alaska and freedom on the run,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
I can hear her spirit calling me
GEmDGEmD
to the mountains, I can rest there.
GEmDGEmA7
To the ri...vers, I will be strong.
GEmDGEmD
To the fo...rests, I'll find peace there.
GEmDGEmA7DDsus4DGD
To the wild country, where I belong.
DDsus4DGEmDDDsus4DGD
Oh, I know sometimes I worry on worldly ways and means,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
and I can see the future killing me.
DDsus4DGD
On a misbegotten highway of prophesies and dreams,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
a road to nowhere and eternity.
DDsus4DGD
And I know it's just changes and mankind marching on,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
I know we can't live in yesterday.
DDsus4DGD
But compared to what we're losing and what it means to me,
GEmDGA7sus4A7
I'd give my life and throw the rest away
GEmDGEmD
to the mountains, I can rest there.
GEmDGEmA7
To the ri...vers, I will be strong.
GEmDGEmD
To the fo...rests, I'll find peace there.
GEmDGEmA7D
To the wild country, where I belong.
GEmDGEmA7DDsus4DGD
To the wild country, where I belong.
