[Intro] Em  Am

[First Part]
 
Em
In the Yukon valley
 
Where I spent my summer past
        Am
I was alone in the bush where
G                       B4
The tide's slow and the river moves fast
     Em
And, oh that lowly temptress
 
That golden witch
        Am
We were on the tundra
Em
In a land where the sun don't set
 
( B5  A#5 )

[Chorus]
 
A7
In the Yukon valley
          C
Where you left me
    C              Em
You left me on my knees

[Segunda Parte]
 
Em
On the Athabasca Delta
 
We retraced our tracks
                 Am
All through the woods where we found
G               B4
A compass and a prospector's map
      Em
And I pushed off in my boat
 
With the gold prospector's ghost
Am
Search forever
    G              B4
But you won't ever find your 

[Pre-Chorus]
 
C     G    Em    D
Gold
 
The river swallowed it
 
C    G    Em    D
whole

[Chorus]
 
A7
In the Yukon valley
           C
Where you left me
    C              Em
You left me on my knees
 
( B5  A#5 )

[Terceira Parte]
 
A7
On the great slave river
        C
To the West
        C                Em
To the West, I'm headed East
 
 (B5  A#5 )

[Chorus]
 
A7
In the Yukon Valley
        C
To the West

[Solo] Em  Am  G  B4
       Em  Am  G  B4
       Em

[Bridge]
 
C              G      Em
I watched you dying
        D
As the temperature was
 
C    G   Em    D
rising

[Chorus]
 
A7
In the Yukon Valley
           C
Where you left me
    C              Em
You left me on my knees
 
( B5  A#5 )

[Chorus]
 
A7
On the great slave river
        C
To the West
        C                   Em
To the West, but I'm headed East
 
( B5  A#5 )

[Final Chorous]
 
A7
In the Yukon valley
        C
To the West
 
To the West
                Em
But I'm headed East
