	F	C
	Lost up in	no-man's land

	G7}Nortbwest TerriC
In the	tories

	F	C
They were	lost up in	no-man's land

	G7	C
The	Marten Hartwell	story

	G7	C
The	Marten Hartwell	story

On November the 8th of '72

	G7	C
	North of the Arctic	Circle

A plane took off from Cambridge Bay

	G7	C
And the	pilot's name was	Hartwell

	F	C
He	had to make it to	Yellowknife

	G7	C
Al	though the night was	stormin'

	F	C
To	save the lives of an	Eskimo boy

	G7	C
And a	pregnant Eskimo	woman.

"Oh, Mr. Hartwell," said the nurse

	G7	C
"I	pray that you will	guide us

To save this woman with her child

	G7	C
And the	boy with appendi	citis."

	F	C
But the	wind, it blew and the	storm, it grew

	G7	C
And the	signal of Kan	twoita <-- "Kantwoita"?

	F	C
They	missed by miles and	flying wild

	G7	C
They	crashed beside Lake	Hota.

Chorus

Now Judy Hill, the federal nurse

	G7	C
She	never lived to	waken

And the life of the mother and her child

	G7	C
Were	both soon after	taken

	F	C
But the	pilot woke to	find himself

	G7	C
And the	Eskimo boy were	livin'

	F	C
	Left in pain be	side the plane

	G7	C
To	search the skies of	heaven.

Day by day the pilot lay

	G7	C
With	both his ankles	broken

And it took the lad everything he had

To G7keep the fire Cstokin'

	F	C
While	in the sky too	far away

	G7	C
The	rescue team were	seakin'

	F	C
A	signal wave that	might be traced

	G7	C
The	Hartwell's radio	beacon

Chorus

After nineteen days the aerial search

	G7	C
Was	said to be com	pleted

Until someone cried, "They're still alive

	G7	C
And the	search must be re	peated."

	F	C
And the	day the beep was	finally heard

	G7	C
Was the	day we'll all re	member

	F	C
A	man was found	safe and sound

	G7	C
On the	9th day of De	cember.

Hartwell said he should have died

	G7	C
At	35 below	zero

And the reason Hartwell did survive

	G7	C
The	boy had died a	hero,

	F	C
"He	brought me food when I	couldn't move

	G7	C
While	he himself grew	feeble

	F	C
Yes,	Davy Koutouk	died a saint

	G7	C
And a	credit to his	people

	F	C
	Davy Koutouk	died a saint

	G7	C
And a	credit to his	people."

Chorus

(repeat last line of chorus slowly)
