elvis costello - 'north' piano and vocal version chords
Start Jamming...
These might be the most [Cm] personal songs I've ever written, but [G] none of that means anything unless
Unless other people can see themselves in them, and they're all written on the piano and a [C] couple of months
So this is the title song of the record doesn't appear on the album
You have to look a little harder for it.
The [Am] East has the [Dm] Englishman
[D] The rising Sun
[G] [C] West has the open [F] plains
[Dm] Now they were [E] one
[Ebm] On Independence Day
[G]
For [C] what it's worth
[Em] You can ring [Am] those Southern bells
[D]
I'm [Em] heading North
[Am] Up where the rushing [D] rivers run and [Bb] salmon leap I
Can't even get there in my sleep
[D] Give [Eb] me the ice and snow [Ab] let me go [C] North
So run [Am] up a banner [Dm] and we'll stand underneath
[G]
They'll [C] give you a [F] starry flag
one with a leash
[E]
[Ebm] I'm on the [G] borderline.
I [C] jump back and forth
[Em] [Am] There's nothing to stop me [D] now
[Em] I'm heading North
[Gb] Up where the polar bears and moose [C] and geese will play
[D] Some of them address you en francais
Give me [Eb] the ice and snow [Ab] let me go [C] North
[Am] So I must leave you [Dm] all
Alas and alack
[G]
[C] Though we are parting now
[Dm] I'll always come [E] back
[Ebm] So as the compass [G] points
That's [C] where I'll be
[Em] But [Am] if you could only [D] see the [Em] perfection of [Am] North
It's [Gb] somewhere I will [D] always carry in [Bb] my heart
a place where dreams begin and life can start
[D] [Eb] Who cares what people [Ab] know let me [C] go North
Who [Eb] cares what people [Ab] know let me [C] go North
