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.

Chorus 1:
D Em7
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
A C G D
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
Bright in my northern sky.
Hope this helps, enjoy playing this lovely song
