Easier key for us girls to sing in. 


Am 
I have returned to the northern skies
Am 
where the summer had not touched
Am 
The clouds that pass above
       Dm 
Oh, and i have returned to the sombre grace
       G        F                     G 
Of the days too early to come and too early to stay


D 
And I have left a million stars
       G 
And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue
D 
And i have left the warmth of the sun
      G       F          G              
And a million adventures not yet begun


C                                    B  Am 
The great sense of passing through
Am 
The great sense of passing through
Dm                 Gsus2          C B  Am 
The great sense of passing through



    Am 
Oh, for once there was beauty here for me
D 
Under these white northern skies
Dm 
And i felt the green was blacker
Dm 
And the blue was darker still
    G 
My roots are lying deeper than i ever think they will again
D                       G    F       G           G 
Heartache and poesy, under these northern skies


C                                  Bm  Am 
The great sense of passing through
Am 
The great sense of passing through
Dm                 G            C   Bm  Am 
The great sense of passing through
