G        Em               C              G    
North by north, lest we   have to settle down.
G        Em               C              G 
We can   sail without the wind in this   town.
Em          C             G 
Things that London never  saw
Em       C                G
Northern winters start to thaw.
   Em      C        
To islands on the sea,
D           Bm
Lands I've never seen,
Em              C              G
Things will get calmer, follow me.



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


G Em C G G

G        Em          C              G 
Land pneumonia, your engines in   repair
G       Em           C              G 
Plant begonias, and  orchids in your hair.
Em    C                  G 
  Continents all made of clay
Em         C             G    
  Dreamers leaving every day
   Em      C        
To islands on the sea,
D          Bm
lands I've never seen,
Em              C              G
things will get calmer, follow me.


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

G            Em            C            G
Someone told me you had oceans in your eyes
G            Em         C        G
Cold as shadows over European skies
Em       C               G
Coasting out the shallow day
Em      C           G
Leaving London in decay.
      Em          C        
To islands on the sea,
D          Bm
Lands I've never seen,
Em              C              G
Things will get calmer, follow me.
