The North Star Grassman And The Ravens chords by Sandy Denny

SANDY DENNY

     Am             C
They stood upon the deck
       G                Am
As the ship went out to sea
    Am               C
The wind it took the sails
    G               Am
And left the land a memory

    Am        C
All upon the shore for
   G                     Am
To wonder why the sailor goes
       Am          C
All to close their eyes
    G                      Am
And wonder what the sailor knows

     Am        C
That is you to they
        G                  Am
That is how they think you are
  Am         C
Never on the land
    G                    Am
But sailing by the north star

     Am        C
That is you to they
        G                  Am
That is how they think you are
  Am         C
Never on the land
    G                    Am
But sailing by the north star

       Am               C
To the tower and to the ravens and
    G                             Am
The tale that hopes they'll never leave
     Am             C
What if they should go?
   G                         Am
We always dread to think of them

  Am                      C
I wonder if they flew one day
    G                       Am
And no one ever knew they'd gone
   Am                   C
To circle over ships at sea
     G               Am
Claiming yet another son

      Am       C
That is you to me
     G                    Am
That is where I think you are
  Am         C
Never on the land
    G                      Am
But gone to find the north star
