[VERSE]
G
I'm heading back to the North Country
         F         C     G
With the cold wind in my eyes
G
I'll be there by sunset
F          C           G        F C
Before the first snow flies--


[CHORUS]
F                 C
Rustle the leaves on the ground
C                  G              F C
This crazy feelin' hangin' round--
F             C
I’ll remember now and then
Am                 Em      C     F     C
But don't ask when I'll be back again-----

[VERSE]
G
Had this dream late one night
      F                C           G
'Bout working with the gang at the Mull River drive
G
Danny, me and Freddy Wright
       F          C                G        F C
Making a dollar a day Just to stay alive--


[CHORUS]
F                 C
Rustle the leaves on the ground
C              G            F C
Cold hard rain comin’ down--
F                     C
Sleeping there on the dark damp earth
Am                      Em     C      F      C
For what it's worth, no reason can be found------
             G          F C
No, it can't be found

 
[VERSE]
G
So if you're passing through the North Country
         F      C       G
With the sunset in your eyes
G
You may find me on the rocky shore
F       C      G       F C
Of that lonely Isle-–


[CHORUS]
F                 C
Rustle the leaves on the ground
C              G             F C
Cold hard rain comin’ down--
F                     C
Sleeping there on the dark damp earth
Am                      Em     C      F     C
For what it's worth, no reason can be found----
