By Andrew Peterson
---------------------------------------------
NO CAPO
V1:
GMargie, won't you listen to anAm old man's wish?
Well, They Bmsay it's mighty pretty in AlCaska
My dGaddy used to talk about those dAmeep-sea fish
So there's Bmsomething, darling, that I want to Cask you
So don't you turn me GdownC
Don't start Gnow C
V2:
In the Gmorning we would listen to the Amcattle calling
LoBmwing in the lands ofC Okeechobee
Where it's Gflatter than the cardboard on the Amcarport floor
And the Bmcattails seem to wave just like they Cknow me
Ah, but EnoFch in the tackle shop
Goes Don about the saClmon caught
The tB/Gime he and his brother sailed to C2Juneau
CHORUS
So get Cin, I'll do the Ddrive
Your Cbag’s already packed and in thGe truck
So Margie get Cin, put down those Ddishes
The Amtown will see us go if we're in CluC#/Cck
So Dcome on it’s Alaska oGr bustC G C
V3:
I've been Gholding down this farm that daddy lefAmt me, darling
The Bmkids have married off and moved Caway
And the Gdoctor says I'm healthy for an Amold man dying
I'm Bmwell enough to seize a few more Cdays
CHORUS 2
So get Cin, I'll do the Ddrive
Your Cbag’s already packed and in thGe truck
So Margie get Cin, these bones are Ddry
I’ve beeAmn running but thBme cancer's catchinCg C#/Cup
So Dcome on, it's Alaska or GbusCt G C
V4:
There were Gdays when I imagined that the Amclouds were mountains
BmTowering above the rolling Cocean
And I was Gsailing on my tractor
Turning Amhay out in the pasture
Catching Bmsalmon of my own while I was Cmowing
CHORUS 3
So get Cin, I'll do the Ddrive
Your Cbag’s already packed and in thGe truck
So Margie get Cin, there's not much Etime
I’ve beeAmn running but thBme cancer's catchinCg up
AmThe town will see us Bmgo if we're in CluC#/Cck
So Dcome on, it's Alaska or Gbust
CAlaska or Gbust
So Cdon't you turn me Gdown
CDon’t starGt now
Listen to the song for picking and hammer-ons. Pretty simple.
