Well, welcome back to you country.
Well, we're doing some songs out of a new album on MSR some old some new some borrowed some true
Here's a song that we don't have in this album
We recorded this a few years back with Charlie Lubin as a trio on it
And we hope somebody might remember this one called Northwind
[Dm]
Grass won't grow [F] on concrete
[Gm] You can't catch fish [Bb] on Main Street [Gm] a dream of traffic ain't no place to [Dm] swim
[C] I'm [Dm] both [F] love the city [Gm] these neon lights are pretty
But this old boy has [F] had enough of [Dm] them
[C] I'm gonna [Bb] catch a north wind
Gonna [F] [Dm] see the best friends I've ever [C] known
I'm gonna [Bb] catch a north wind
[F] But [Dm] where my heart's [C] been I'm [F] going home
[Dm]
There's clear pure waters [F] flowing [Gm] in the valley where I'm going and all the snow-capped [Bb] mountains great [Dm] the sky
[C] [Dm] There's still wide open [F]
spaces
[Gm] The eagles don't live in cages the air you breathe [Bb] is enough to get [Dm] you high
[C] [Bb]
[F] Gonna [Dm] see the best
I've [C] ever known
I'm gonna [Bb] catch a north wind
[C]
But [Dm] where my heart's [C] been I'm going [F] home
[Bb] My crown [Am] chicken on the old wood [Bb] stove I can smell the gravy [F] in the pan
I'm gonna tell my suzi [Am] that I love her [Bb] so and I'll never ever leave [C] again
I'm gonna catch a north wind
[F] Gonna [Dm] see the best
I'm gonna [Bb] catch a north wind
A little [F] drift in
But [Dm] where my heart's been I'm going home
But [Dm] where my heart's been [C] I'm going [F] home

No high-speed cars, no [F] aeroplanes all I can boast is my good [C] name, but i'm happy
Every [G] day I live
