Elton John – The North (Guitar)

G                   Bm
  Have you seen the North?

Em                D
  That cold, grey place.

C                          G/B  Em  C  D
  Don't want its shadow anymore on  my face.

G                    Bm
  A man grows bitter.

Em                    C
  We’re a bitter race.

                        D           (G)
Some of us never get to see a better place.

G                 D
  In the Northern Skies

Em                  G
  There was a steel cloud

C                       G/B
  It used to follow me around,

            Em  C  D
But I don’t see it now.

G                       Bm
  There's a farm in the rain,

Em      G                C
  And a little farmhouse.

                             D           (Bb)
There were a young man's eyes looking south.

    Bb           A7
The North was my mother.

D                         F
  But I no longer need her.

Bb                              A7
  You trade your roots and your dust.

D
  For a face in the river.

F                               Bb
  And a driven rain that washes you

F                D
  To a different shore.

          Bb          C          Eb          Bb         C
There's a North in us all but my North can't hold me anymore.

Bb                 A7
  The North was my mother.

Bb                        F
  But I no longer need her.

Bb                              A7
  You trade your roots and your dust.

Bb                  D
  For a face in the river.

F                               Bb
  And a driven rain that washes you

F                D
  To a different shore.

          G           C          Eb          D          C
There's a North in us all but my North can't hold me anymore.

  C                Bb
A driven rain that washes you

A7               D
  To a different shore.

          G           C          Eb          D          C
There's a North in us all but my North can't hold me anymore.
