Song For The North Star Chords by Jorma Kaukonen

[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ They [D] gave me [G] money _
[Em] _ [A] to find [D] the [G] sky _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ And [Dm] I took it with no [G] questions, [Em] didn't [A] even ask them [D] why
_ [G] _
_ [Em] _ [A] _ But [D] days are [G] open [Em] _ [A] and _ [D] skies are [G] free
[Em] _ _ _ [A] _ [Dm] And the time I [G] took to learn that [Em] couldn't [A] leave its [D] chains on me
[G]
I _ [Em] _ [A] _ [D] lived in [G] shadows, _ [Em] _ _ [A] away [D] from the [G]
sun
[Em] _ _ [A] And [Dm] the trembling [G] in my mind kept my heart and [Am] body [D] on the run
[G] _
[Em] Then _ [A] _ [D] freedom [G] called _ [Em] us, [A] _ called out our _ [G]
names
[Em] _ _ [A] _ [D] And the beckoning of [G] the highway [Em] sought to [A] part our useless [D] _ [G] game
_ [A] _ _ The [D] love we [G] wanted _ [Em] _ [A] _ was [D] lost in _ [G] _
life
_ [A] _ [D] And the trances [G] slipped on by me like the flashing [A] sun or in [D] her eyes
[G] _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ [G] Then we took the rise together, [Em] _ _ [D] for the first time in [Em] our lives
_ [G] _ Feeling just like [F#m] one is better than wasting [Em] time on [A] tearful strife
_ _ _ _ Our [D] time is [G] open _ _ [A] for [D] us to [G] see
_ _ [A] _ And [D] our freedom skins [G] on upward like [Em] the seagulls [A] soaring at the [D] sea
_ [G] And _ [A] _ _
[D] our freedom [G] skins on upward like [Em] the [A] seagulls soaring at [D] the sea
[G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _
