G Bm C G
If you're travelin' in the north country fair,
G Bm C G
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
G Bm C G
Remember me to one who lives there.
G Bm C G
She once was a true love of mine.
G C G
When you said your last goodbye
D/F# Em
I died a little bit inside
C G
And I lay in tears in bed all night
C G D
Alone without you by my side
G Em C G
We had our day but now it's over
C G C D D7
we had our song but now it's sung
G Em C G
we had our stroll through summers clover
C G D G
but summer's gone now, our walkin's done
Em
But if you loved me
C
Why'd' ya leave me
G
Take my body
D
Take my body
Em
All I want is
C
And all I need is
G
To find somebody
D
I'll find somebody
G G
Her eyes and words are so icy
Em
Oh but she burns
C G
Like rum on the fire
G
C Em G
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
C Em G
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
C Am G
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
C Am F C
So tell me gently who be your lover
F C F G G7
who be your lover after I'm gone
C Am F C
will it be the moon that hears your sighin'
F C G C
will it be the willow that hears your lonesome song
Em
But if you loved me
C
Why'd' ya leave me
G
Take my body
D
Take my body
Em
All I want is
C
And all I need is
G
To find somebody
D
I'll find somebody
G G
Her fight and fury is fiery
G Em
Oh but she loved
C G
Like sleep to the freezing
C Em G
The way she showed me I'm hers and she is mine
C Em G
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
C Am G
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
G Bm C G
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
G Bm C G
Many times I've often prayed
G Bm C G
In the darkness of my night,
G Bm C G
In the brightness of my day.
G Bm C G
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
G Bm C G
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
G Bm C G
Remember me to one who lives there.
G Bm C G
She once was a true love of mine.
