Intro: E5

E5
I have returned to the northern skies
E5
where the summer had not touched
E5
The clouds that pass above
       A5
Oh, and i have returned to the sombre grace
       D5        C5                     D5
Of the days too early to come and too early to stay
    A5
And I have left a million stars
       D5
And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue
    A5
And i have left the warmth of the sun
      D5       C5          D5             D5 (add G5 )
And a million adventures not yet begun
G5                                    F#5 E5
The great sense of passing through
E5
The great sense of passing through
A5                 D5          G5 F#5 E5
The great sense of passing through
    E5
Oh, for once there was beauty here for me
A5
Under these white northern skies
A5
And i felt the green was blacker
A5
And the blue was darker still
    D5
My roots are lying deeper than i ever think they will again
A5                       D5    C5       D5           D5 ( G5 )
Heartache and poverty, under these northern skies
G5                                  F#5 E5
The great sense of passing through
E5
The great sense of passing through
A5                 D5            G5   F#5 E5
The great sense of passing through
