Gordon Lightfoot - Whispers Of The North ## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ## CAPO: 3rd Fret [INTRO:] ~ [VERSE 1:] Whispers of the north Soon I will go forth To that wild and barren land Where nature takes its course Whispers of the wind Soon I will be there again Bound with a wild and restless drive That pulls me from within [CHORUS:] And we can ride away We can glide all day We can fly___ away [INTERLUDE:] / [VERSE 2:] Whispers of the north Soon I will return again To those endless afternoons In sunshine and in rain Whispers of my love Days and weeks on end I will share my thoughts of her In prayers that I will send [CHORUS:] And we can ride away We can glide all day We can fly___ away [INSTRUMENTAL:] / ~ / ~ [VERSE 3:] Whispers of the north The river and the shore In a land that tested Eskimos Ten thousand years before Whispers of my heart In the tracks of animals I will leave my footprints there To lie beneath the snow [CHORUS:] And we can ride away We can glide all day We can fly___ away [INTERLUDE:] / ~ [VERSE 4:] Whispers of the wind I will feel it sting I will see it rise and fall I will hear it sing The sound is like a song to me It takes away the pain The river is the melody And sky is the refrain [CHORUS:] And we can ride away We can glide all day We can fly___ away [CHORUS:] And we can ride away We can glide all day We can fly___ away [INTERLUDE:] / ~ [OUTRO:] Whispers of the north Soon I will go forth Whispers of the north Soon I will go forth
