Sandy Denny - The North Star Grassman and the Ravens

      
 
                     Am  C 
 They stood upon the deck
        G                Am 
 As the ship went out to sea
     Am               C    
 The wind it took the sails
     G               Am    
 And left the land a memory
 
     Am        C       
 All upon the shore for
    G                     Am  
 To wonder why the sailor goes
        Am          C   
 All to close their eyes
     G                      Am   
 And wonder what the sailor knows
 
      Am        C   
 That is you to they
         G                  Am 
 That is how they think you are
   Am         C   
 Never on the land
     G                    Am  
 But sailing by the north star
 
      Am        C   
 That is you to they
         G                  Am 
 That is how they think you are
   Am         C   
 Never on the land
     G                    Am  
 But sailing by the north star
 
        Am               C         
 To the tower and to the ravens and
     G                             Am   
 The tale that hopes they'll never leave
      Am             C  
 What if they should go?
    G                         Am 
 We always dread to think of them
 
   Am                      C  
 I wonder if they flew one day
     G                       Am  
 And no one ever knew they'd gone
    Am                   C  
 To circle over ships at sea
      G               Am 
 Claiming yet another son
 
       Am       C 
 That is you to me
      G                    Am 
 That is where I think you are
   Am         C   
 Never on the land
     G                      Am  
 But gone to find the north star
