Song For The North Star Chords by Jorma Kaukonen

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