       Am
Have you ever been to north point
Dm            Am
 To spend your time and pray
Dm           Am        Dm
 The prison walls are dark and cold and grey
          Am
The writing on the wall at north point
Dm          Am
 Speaks to a silent room
Dm          Am           Dm
 They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom

-------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
       Bb   C
how could we get any closer, so high is the wire
    F
and the guards won`t listen
Bb      C     Dm
 they won`t believe me

      Bb    C
and then it all came back
              F
somewhere far above, has a new day risen
Bb        C      Dm
 way beyond the searchlight, comes alive, comes alive

********
         Am
Then on a bright day at north point
Dm         Am
 The gate was open wide
Dm           Am     Dm
 They chanced to look at what was inside

           Am
There were a million stars at north point
Dm          Am
 And from the silent tomb
Dm          Am
 They took it to the heart,
         Dm
And left for the moon
