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.

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.
