girl from the north country- bob dylan (freewheelin')
this is one of my favorite dylan songs. and note that some of the lines from
'scarborough fair/canticle' by simon and garfunekl are taken form this song.

[Verse]
Em C G
Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Em C G
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Em C G
Remember me to one who lives there.
Em D G
She once was a true love of mine.
Em C G
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
Em C G
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Em C G
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
Em D G
To keep her from the howlin' winds.
Em C G
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
Em C G
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Em C G
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
Em D G
That's the way I remember her best.
Em C G
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Em C G
Many times I've often prayed
Em C G
In the darkness of my night,
Em C G
In the brightness of my day.
Em C G
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Em C G
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Em C G
Remember me to one who lives there.
Em C G
She once was a true love of mine.
