Song For The North Star

D5 Dsus4 G G* A
D5 Dsus4 G G* A

             D5 Dsus G A
They gave me money
            D5 G G* A
to find the sky.
      D5              E7        G*          A        D5
And I took it with no question, didn't even ask them why.

             D5 Dsus4 G A
But days are open
              D5 Dsus4 G A
And skies are free
        D5              E7
And the time it took to learn that
G*               A         D5
Didn't leave its chains on me.

           D5 Dsus4 G A
I lived in shadow
             D5 Dsus4 G A
Way from the sun.
        D5               E7
And the tremblin' in my  mind
        G*             A      D5
Kept my heart and body on the run.

(Improvise a fill like the ones above and end it with A)








             D5     Dsus4 G A
When freedom called us
               D5 Dsus4 G A
Called out our names....
        D5            E7
And the beckon of the highway
G*                  A       D5
Saw through all our useless games

(fill ending in A)

            D5 Dsus4 G A
The love we wanted
            D5 Dsus4 G A
Was lost in lies
        D5                     E7
And the chance that slipped on by me
         G*              A      D5
Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes

(fill ending in A)

A                       D5
Then we took the rise together
        A                 G
For the first time in our lives
A                     D5
Feeling just like one suspended
             A          D5   A   G        A
Then we said time won't keep our strife

            D5 Dsus4 G A
Our time is open
          D5 Dsus4 G A
For us to see
        D5                  E7
And our freedom schemes are open
         G*               A      D5
like the seagulls soaring at the sea

(fill)

        D5                  E7
And our freedom schemes are open
         G*               A      D5
like the seagulls soaring at the sea.
