Yet more brilliance from I Am Kloot... the single Northern Skies from their Sky At Night album

Tuning: EADGBE

Capo 5th fret

The chords are G, C, Am, D, C/B

The fingering is correct here, the rhythm is obvious from the recording!

I've put the basic chord names above the tab and in the corresponding places over the lyrics!
