Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: Chord diagramFF

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
Chord diagramDbDb  Chord diagramFF  Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramC majorC

Verse:
          Chord diagramFF
There's a place I'm gonna leave to
Chord diagramFF
When all this questioning is through
          Chord diagramBb majorBb
I'm gonna set my course to somewhere further North
Chord diagramBb majorBb
Than my eyes have ever viewed

             Chord diagramFF
And though I know that the thought proceeds me
Chord diagramFF
I know that others seek it too
            Chord diagramBb majorBb
But when I get where the needle leads me
Chord diagramBb majorBb                                                         Chord diagramFF Chord diagramA minorAm
Well I swear, and I swear, you'll never lead me away again

            Chord diagramFF
And in the time when the peace of islands
Chord diagramFF
Was first by human hand disturbed
                  Chord diagramBb majorBb
They built their houses and they said obedience
Chord diagramBb majorBb
Was all the lives of men were worth

            Chord diagramFF
And in the shadow of the temperance
Chord diagramFF
They laid boundaries in the dirt
              Chord diagramBb majorBb
And when the door had a narrow entrance
Chord diagramBb majorBb                                                                    Chord diagramFF
With their hands on their shirts they would pray for the non-believers

Chorus:
Chord diagramDbDb
And there's a place called North
            Chord diagramF minorFm
And they're gathering there to sing
       Chord diagramC majorC
And I knock three times and beg them
          Chord diagramF minorFm
But they will not let me in
Chord diagramDbDb
And "Oh, my girl" they say
            Chord diagramF minorFm
"You're the carrier to no gain"
      Chord diagramC majorC
But I lay, what I can, somewhere North of this and
                             Chord diagramFF Chord diagramA minorAm
Would you turn me away again?

Verse:
           Chord diagramFF
And do you go where the needle leads to
Chord diagramFF
And when you get there will you change?
              Chord diagramBb majorBb
Out where the nights are soft
Chord diagramBb majorBb
And now you go because you think that Paradise should be tamed

            Chord diagramFF
And how you live is by a map of humanity
Chord diagramFF
And now you grip it 'cause you think that it saves
          Chord diagramBb majorBb
But I've seen what you see, it looks different to me
Chord diagramBb majorBb                                                            Chord diagramFF
I see lights to the shore and all these hearts beating other rhythms
         Chord diagramBb majorBb
Now they die to be born
                                       Chord diagramFF
And all their mysteries are dying with them

Chorus:
Chord diagramDbDb
And there's a place called North
            Chord diagramF minorFm
And you're gathering there to sing
       Chord diagramC majorC
And I knock three times and beg you
         Chord diagramF minorFm
But you will not let me in
Chord diagramDbDb
But though I love so hard
            Chord diagramF minorFm
Now I'm the carrier to this gate
       Chord diagramC majorC
And I lay, what I can, somewhere North of us and
                              Chord diagramBb majorBb Chord diagramF minorFm
Would you turn me away again?

Chord diagramBb majorBb Chord diagramF minorFm

Chord diagramDbDb
And would these winds would lift
         Chord diagramF minorFm
And they carry me to your door
      Chord diagramC majorC
And I knock three times and tell you
         Chord diagramF minorFm
I can't help where I was born
Chord diagramDbDb
But don't I love enough
      Chord diagramF minorFm
Isn't holiness where it forms?
      Chord diagramC majorC
If I take, what I have, to the North
                                      Chord diagramBb majorBb Chord diagramF minorFm
Is there room on your piece of Heaven?

Chord diagramBb majorBb Chord diagramF minorFm
Chord diagramBb majorBb Chord diagramF minorFm
Chord diagramBb majorBb Chord diagramC majorC
                             Chord diagramFF
Oh would you turn me away again?
