Altan - Girl From The North Country
CAPO: 2nd Fret
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##
[Intro]
Am G C F C ~ Am
[Verse 1]
G C F C ~
If you're travelling in the north country fair
Am G C F C ~
Where the wind stands heavy on the borderline
Am F C F C ~
Remember me to one who lives there
Am G C F C ~ Am
For she once was a true love of mine
[Verse 2]
G C F C ~
If you go when the snowflakes storm
Am G C F C ~
When rivers freeze and summer ends
Am F C F C ~
Please see if she has a coat so warm
Am G C Am C F C
To keep her from the howling winds
[Verse 3]
Am G C F C ~
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
Am G C F C ~
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Am F C F C ~
Please see for me if her hair hangs long
Am G C F C ~
For that's the way I remember her best
[Verse 4]
Am G C F C ~
I wonder if she remembers me at all
Am G C F C ~
Day and night I've often prayed
Am F C F C ~
In the darkness of her night
Am G C F C ~ Am
And in the brightness of her day
