Intro Em  Am 



  
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

You left me on my knees 


  
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

On the great slave river
