Standard Tuning First Verse: Eight stars of gold on a field of blue, Alaska's flag, may it mean to you, The blue of the sea, the evening sky, The mountain lakes and the flowers nearby. Second Verse: The gold of the early sourdough's dreams, The precious gold of the hills and streams, The brilliant stars in the northern sky, The "Bear," the "Dipper," and shining high The great North Star with its steady light, O'er land and sea a beacon bright, Alaska's flag to Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier.
