Heather Nova's Turn The Compass Round Chords
Intro

A A A A

Verse

A                    Bm
We sailed east in summer on the Azores high

D                               A
For days I felt a silence in my soul
A                         Bm
We headed south in winter to the trade winds

D                                 A
Like a heartbeat, I could feel the ocean roll

Prechorus

D                   Bm
My mother taught me how to be strong

Cm                         D
My father showed me how to carry on

Chorus

A                           D
Now I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean

A                           D
I turn the compass round, and head out on the sea

Bm
Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world

Cm
I've tried to be a better girl

D
I've held my head up, held my own

E                 A     A
Now all I wanna be is home

Verse

A                     Bm
Sometimes I think I'm never gonna find

D                                A
A sweetness that I knew when I was young

A                 Bm
And in this faded photograph it seems

D                            A
Like everything is shining in the sun

Prechorus

D                   Bm
My mother taught me how to be free

Cm                         D
My father showed me how to live the dream

Chorus

A                           D
Now I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean

A                           D
I turn the compass round, and head out on the sea

Bm
Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world

Cm
I've tried to be a better girl

D
I've held my head up, held my own

E                 A        Bm       Cm    D    E
Now all I wanna be is home, is home, is home

Bm
I've made my way, I've walked this world

Cm
I've tried to be a better girl

D
I've held my head up, held my own

E                 Bm   Cm   D   E
Now all I wanna be is home

Bm
I've made my way, I've walked this world

Cm
I've tried to be a better girl

D
I've held my head up, held my own

E                 A        A        A
Now all I wanna be is home, is home, is home

End on A
