Northern Skies

G
Above there are no stars tonight just northern skies
                 C
Reflected light upon your face
G
People think stars rule our lives,

Some people they think otherwise
         C
They can be replaced.

              Am                   D
Where did you go on that big black night?
                 Am                           D
Did you take the coast road back through your life?
                            Am                   D
See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
                       C                G
And say, well, they’ll do all right for me.

   G
We shroud our lives in mysteries,
                                           C
Brooding skies and stormy seas, if we have any sense.
G
Storm clouds roll, they’re free to break
                                         C
And we’re free to make the same mistakes again and again.

              Am                     D
Where shall I go on those big, black nights?
                  Am                         D
Should I take the coast road back through my life?
                            Am                   D
See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
                       C                G
And say, well, they’ll do all right for me.

G
Above there are no stars tonight, just northern skies
                   C
Reflected light on fields of snow.
     G
Some people think stars rule our lives,

Some people they think otherwise
C
What does anybody know?

               Am                     D
Where shall we go on those big, black nights?
                  Am                          D
Shall we take the coast road back through our lives?
                            Am                   D
See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light
                      C                G
And say, well they’ll do all right for me.

See the stars and constellations,

Sit beneath their congregation.
