Cheryl Wheeler - Northern Girl


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G+G  C majorC

      G+G           G+G    G/F#  E minorEm   C majorC
Why are the rain clouds coming and pouring down on me?
         G+G          G+G    G/F# E minorEm   C majorC
And why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way?
         G+G         G+G   G/F#  E minorEm
And where has the sunshine gone? Oh, I can barely see
       A minorAm   C majorC      A minorAm       G+G    C majorC
This northern rain is falling, and home is calling me

     G+G        G+G   G/F#  E minorEm   C majorC
Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see
        G+G        G+G    G/F#    E minorEm   C majorC
Just watching a small bird fly, above the fields and me
     G+G           G+G    G/F#   E minorEm
Walking a dusty road and there's nothing 'round the bend
      A minorAm   C majorC    A minorAm     G+G
Except for golden tones of going home again


CHORUS:
   C majorC   G+G D MajorD
Going home______
   C majorC   G+G D MajorD   C majorC
Going home______


     G+G       G+G    G/F#  E minorEm   C majorC
Muddy old river flowing 'neath a fallen tree
       G+G       G+G    G/F#  E minorEm   C majorC
And sunflower garden growing twice as tall as me
      G+G        G+G     G/F#   E minorEm
Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today
      A minorAm    C majorC     A minorAm       G+G
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away


CHORUS:
   C majorC   G+G D MajorD
Going home______
   C majorC   G+G D MajorD   C majorC
Going home______


          G+G       G+G    G/F#   E minorEm   C majorC
And on a starry old summer evening, humming warm and sweet
     G+G        G+G   G/F#   E minorEm   C majorC
I hit the road believing, I was bound to leave
         G+G       G+G    G/F#  E minorEm
And it took a New England sky to teach me how to say
      A minorAm    C majorC     A minorAm       G+G
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
      A minorAm    C majorC     A minorAm       G+G  G/F# E minorEm
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away
       A minorAm    C majorC       A minorAm       G+G   D MajorD G+G
