_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh my fair _ [E] North Star, _ [F#m] I have held to [D] you dearly.
[A] I had asked you [D] to steer me to [A] one cloud _ [E]-scattered night.
I [A] got lost in [E] my travels.
[F#m] I met _ Leo [D] the Lion, [A] met a king and met a [D] giant.
With [A] their air [E] and light.
_ [E] _ _
There's [F#m] the wind and [C#m] the rain and [D] the mercy _ of the fallen
who say [A] they have no [E]
claim to know [F#m] what's right.
_ _ [D] _
_ There's [A] the weak and [E] the strong and [F#m] the bets that have no [D] answer
and [A] that's where I may [E] rest my head [F#] tonight.
_ [F#m] _
[D] _ _ I saw [A] _ the [E] bright people _ [F#m] in imposing flocks, [D] pale and dead.
[A] And they got what they [D] demanded and [A] they scratched at the [E] ground.
Then they [A] flew and the [E] field [F#m] grew with sweetly for [D] the flightless
who [A] had longing yet [D] despite this they could [A] hear every [E] sound.
_ _ [E] _ _
There's [F#m] the wind and [C#m] the rain and [D] the mercy _ of the fallen
who [A] say they have [E] no claim to know [F#m] what's _ _ [D] right. _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
And [F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
if [A] your sister or [E] your brother [F#m] were stumbling on [D] their last mile
[A] in a self-inflicted [D] exile, you'd wish [A] for them a humble [E] friend.
And [A] I hope _ _ [E] someday _ [F#m] that the best of false [D] tasks planners _
[A] give me seven half [D]-built manors where [A] _ half-dreams [E] may dream [F#] without [F#m] _ end.
[E] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ [E] _ There's [F#m] the wind and [C#m] the rain and [D] the mercy _ of the fallen
who [A] say it's not [E] my place to know [F#m] what's right.
_ [D] _ _ There's [A] the weak and [E] the strong and [F#m] the many _ [D] stars that guide us.
We [A] have some of them [D] inside us.
