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 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
|(D) | Em7 | D | Em7 |
Chorus 1
It's been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long time that I'm blown
Been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
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
