The North
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the Album The One
G Bm Em G/D C Dsus4 G
Bm/F#
Have you seen the North
Em G/D
That cold grey place
C G/B
Don't want its shadow anymore
Em C D Dsus4 C/D G
On my face
Bm/F#
A man grows bitter
Em G/D C
We're a bitter race
Dsus4
Some of us never get to see
D C/D G
A be- tter place
Bm Em G/D C Dsus4 G
In the Northern Skies
There was a steel cloud
It used to follow me around
But I don't see it now
There's a farm in the rain
And a little farmhouse
There were a young man's eyes
Looking south
Bb6 A+ A7
The North was my mother
Dm
But I no longer need her
Bb6 A+ A7
You trade your roots and your dust
Dm
For a face in the river
F/C Bb
And a driven rain that washes you
A+ A7 Dm
To a different shore
G/B C
There's a North in us all
Eb Bb/D F/C C
But my North can't hold me anymore
