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!

Some people they think otherwise

Moving stars and stormy seas

And we're free to make the same mistakes

Where shall we go

On that big black night

Shall we take the coast road

They'll do alright without me
