He plays this riff to open the song and throughout the song on the D-chord. It's a

You take a rickety plane from Seattle up into Anchorage
You step off the platform staring at the midnight sun
Jump in my pickup, brother, we'll drive
in
Bring your troubles down highway nine.
in
I've got a pull-out couch and a job lined up at a cannery
in
You hitch a ride to Homer, Alaska, brother, the drinks will be on me
in
Raise a glass, lift a chalice
Welcome to Alice's Champagne Palace
in
The finest bar on the strip in Homer, Alaska, Alaska
in
If you're from New York, Dallas, you'll find a home at the Champagne Palace
in
Alice'll pour you a cold one, go ahead and ask her, if you're running away
to Alaska, Alaska
The mountains rise from ocean to sky in Homer, Alaska
They'll the steal your breath and your troubles in the blink of an eye
in
You'll hear a band with a steel guitar, there's a window seat right at the bar
in
The whales are breaching and Alice is preaching "like a rolling stone"
in
She'll push a mason jar across the bar and say "Mister, welcome home!"
You've never been to a prettier place than Homer, Alaska
You've never met a kinder face than the one behind the bar
in
Now, Homer is a town full of misfit toys, renegade women and runaway boys
in
Everyobody's got some kind of story here in Homer town.
in
Guess sometimes you gotta go to the end of the earth, just to turn yourself around
Brother, you just might stay. If you're running away to Alaska, Alaska, Alaska, Alaska
