Capo 1


G        Em             C              G
North by north, lest we have to settle down.

We can sail without the wind in this town.

Em       C                G
Northern winters start to thaw.
   Em          C        
To islands on the sea,
D           Am
Lands I've never seen,
Em              C              G
Things will get calmer, follow me.



Em         D               C
You said a long long time ago
                             Em
You were happy being someone.
Em       D                 C
Let's go far far far from home
                                G
I'll be glad to be with someone.

Plant begonias, and orchids in your hair.

Continents all made of clay

Dreamers leaving every day

To islands on the sea,

things will get calmer, follow me.

Cold as shadows over European skies
Em       C               G

To islands on the sea,
D          Am
Lands I've never seen,
Em              C              G
Things will get calmer, follow me.
