Created By: chief22Summary: Into the Wild (1996) by Jon Krakauer is a bestselling non-fiction book about the adventures of Christopher McCandless. It is an expansion of Krakauer's 9,000-word article, "Death of an Innocent", which appeared in the January 1993 issue of Outside.[1] Krakauer intersperses McCandless's story with a discussion of the wilderness experiences of people such as John Muir and John Menlove Edwards, as well as some of his own adventures. Krakauer first went to Alaska in 1974 and has returned there twenty times since. He spent three years carrying out the background research work for this biography. The book has been adapted into a 2007 movie of the same name directed by Sean Penn with Emile Hirsch starring as McCandless.

G            
Such is the way of the world

You can never know

Just where to put all your faith

And how will it grow

Gonna rise up
G                            C
Burning black holes in dark memories

Gonna rise up

Turn mistakes into gold

G
Such is the passage of time
            C
Too fast to fold
    G 
And suddenly swallowed by signs
        C
Low and behold


      D
Gonna rise up
G                    C
Find my direction magnetically
      D
Gonna rise up
G                          C
Throw down my ace in the hole
