Song: Northern Sky
By:   Nick Drake

{ capo fret I }

[intro:]   | D   | Em7  | D   | Em7  |
           | D   | Em7  | D   | Em7  |
 
[verse: 1]
D                     Em7
  I never felt magic crazy as this
D                             Em7
  I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
D                             Em7
  I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
D                              Em7
  Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
         Asus4
But now you're here
               /  / {one beat each}
|A          |  C  G |  D  |
 Brighten my northern sky
 
    | D   | Em7  | D   | Em7  |
    | D   | Em7  | D   | Em7  |
 
[verse: 2]
D                                Em7
  It's been a long time that I'm waiting
D                           Em7
  Been a long time that I'm blown
D                            Em7
  been a long time that I've wandered
D                           Em7
  Through the people I have known
           Asus4
Oh, if you would and you could
|A            | C   G   | D  |
 Straighten my new mind's eye
 
[:]  
     | D     | Em7   | D     | Em7   |
     | D     | Em7   | D Em7 | D     |

[verse: 3]
D                    Em7 
  Would you love me for my money
D                    Em7
  Would you love me for my head
D                    Em7
  Would you love me through the winter
D                    Em7
  Would you love me 'til I'm dead
           Asus4
Oh, if you would and you could
|A             | C   G | D  |
 Come blow your horn on high
 
     | D   | Em7  | D   | Em7  |

[verse: 4]
D                    Em7 
  I never felt magic crazy as this
D                    Em7
  I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
D                    Em7
  I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
D                    Em7
  Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree

But now you're here
|A          |  C  G |  D  |
 Brighten my northern sky
