THE NORTH STAR GRASSMAN AND THE RAVENS
SANDY DENNY
Am C
They stood upon the deck
G Am
As the ship went out to sea
Am C
The wind it took the sails
G Am
And left the land a memory
Am C
All upon the shore for
G Am
To wonder why the sailor goes
Am C
All to close their eyes
G Am
And wonder what the sailor knows
Am C
That is you to they
G Am
That is how they think you are
Am C
Never on the land
G Am
But sailing by the north star
Am C
That is you to they
G Am
That is how they think you are
Am C
Never on the land
G Am
But sailing by the north star
Am C
To the tower and to the ravens and
G Am
The tale that hopes they’ll never leave
Am C
What if they should go?
G Am
We always dread to think of them
Am C
I wonder if they flew one day
G Am
And no one ever knew they’d gone
Am C
To circle over ships at sea
G Am
Claiming yet another son
Am C
That is you to me
G Am
That is where I think you are
Am C
Never on the land
G Am
But gone to find the north star
