Northern Sky
Words and Music - Nick Drake

This is not written in the 'official' tuning and I've no idea what that even
was, or what chords Drake might have used.  This is simply a version in
standard tuning that I think sounds nice, and can be played along to the
record.

[Verse 1]

             
I never felt m

     
agic crazy as 

this
             
I never saw mo

             
ons knew the m


eaning of the 

sea
             
I never held e

              
motion in the 


palm of my han

d
             
Or felt sweet 

              
breezes in the

 
 top of a tree
    
But now you're

 here
            
Brighten my no

      
rthern sky.

[Chorus 1]

             
It's been a lo

              
ng time that I

   
'm waiting
             
Been a long ti

been a long ti

             
me that I've w


andered
             
Through the pe

            
ople I have kn


own
           
Oh, if you wou


ld and you cou

ld
             
Straighten my 

         
new mind's eye

[Chorus 2]

Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.


[Verse 2]

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
