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 .

chords used :
D 000232
Em7 022030
Asus4 002230

D Em7
i never held emotion in the palm of my hand
D Em7
or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
Asus4

A C G D
bright in my northern sky .
D | Em7 | D | Em7 | etc
chorus 1 :
D Em7
it’s been a long time that i’m waiting
D Em7
been a long time that i’m blown
D Em7
been a long time that i’ve wandered
D Em7
through the people i have known

A C G D

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
bright in my northern sky .
