[VERSE 1:]
            F        C             
I'm just an ordinary North Country 
G
man
        F                 C       
I had a dream that bid me come 
    G
here
           F                   C  
Although naïve, I thought that I'd
         G
 make my way
                 F                 
But fair-weather friends is all 
  C       G
that I had


[VERSE 2:]
     F                     C      
They took from me all that I had 
  G
to give
            F             C        G
Replenished me with their reason
          F                C  
Don't you talk to me about your 
       G
sacrifice
            F         C         G
Then ask of me if I'm leaving


[CHORUS:]
          C           F        G
I'm going down to the water today

[VERSE 3:]
            F        C             
I'm just an ordinary North Country 
G
man
             F              C     
My dream has edges that are fading
   G

                 F            C   
This year that's passed, it's not 
       G
such a waste
            F              C      
It's just a hard way to be 
    G
learning


[VERSE 4:]
      F                    C      
We've got no choice in the life 
         G
that we're born to
         F                   C    
Our only choosing, is in its 
    G
living
              F                    
Now people in their own time, will 
C                   G
show just what they are
            F                C    
I hope this time, I know who I am
  G
