Song: Northern Girl
By:   Cheryl Wheeler

{ capo fret 2 }
 
[intro:]   |G  |  |C  |   |

[verse: 1] 
C             D                        G      G/F#    Em    
  Why are the rain clouds coming and pouring down on me?
C                     D                   G        G/F#  Em    
  And why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way
C                      G                  G     G/F#  Em
  And where has the sunshine gone? Oh, I can barely see
               Am        C          D              G          (C) passing note  ??  
This northern rain is falling, and home is calling me
 

[verse: 2] 
C             D             G     G/F#    Em    
  Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see
C                  D                G        G/F#      Em   
  Just watching a small bird fly, above the fields and me
C            D                       G       G/F#      Em
  Walking a dusty road and there's nothing aound the bend
             Am     C        D          G
Except for golden tones of going home again
 
 
[chorus:]
      C     G     D
Going home__________
      C     G     D    
Going home__________
 
[verse: 3] 
C            G              G       G/F#   Em     
  Muddy old river flowing 'neath a fallen tree
C                 D              G       G/F#   Em 
  And sunflower garden growing twice as tall as me
C              D               G        G/F#     Em
  Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today
             Am       C         D             G
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
 
 
[chorus:]
      C     G     D
Going home__________
      C     G     D    
Going home__________
 
[verse: 4] 
C                       D              G        G/F#     Em     
  And on a starry old summer evening, humming warm and sweet
C            D               G     G/F#     Em    
  I hit the road believing, I was bound to leave
C                     D              G      G/F#   Em
  And it took a New England sky to teach me how to say
              Am       C         D             G  G/F# Em
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
             Am       C         D             G   G/F# Em
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
                Am       C            D             G       D G {finish}
This ain't no northern song and I've been too long away
