Northern Sky Words and Music - Nick Drake This is not written in the 'official' tuning and I've no idea what that even was, or what chords Drake might have used. This is simply a version in standard tuning that I think sounds nice, and can be played along to the record. Capo 1st Fret Chords Used: xx0232 022030 x02230 x02220 x32010 320003 * 022033 [Intro] | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 1] I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky |() | | | | [Chorus 1] It's been a long time that I'm waiting Been a long time that I'm blown Been a long time that I've wandered Through the people I have known Oh, if you would and you could Straighten my new mind's eye [Interlude first movement] |() | * | | * | | | * | *| | [Interlude second movement] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Chorus 2] Would you love me for my money Would you love me for my head Would you love me through the winter Would you love me 'til I'm dead Oh, if you would and you could Come blow your horn on high |() | | | | [Verse 2] I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky [Ending first movement] |() | | | | [Ending second movement, without drum] | | | |
