Introduction:

 G          Bm                C              G 
If you' re travelin'  in the north country fair,
 G                    Bm            C      G 
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
 G         Bm     C              G 
Remember me to one who lives there.
 G         Bm     C             G 
She once was a true love of mine.
 G             Bm           C           G 
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
 G                Bm          C       G 
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
 G                  Bm     C        G 
Please see if she has a coat so warm,
    G         Bm        C        G 
To keep her from the howlin'  winds.
 G               Bm         C           G 
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
 G                Bm         C         G 
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
 G               Bm         C           G 
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
 G           Bm       C           G 
That' s the way I remember her best.
 G                Bm        C              G 
I' m a-wonderin'  if she remembers me at all.
 G     Bm          C      G 
Many times I' ve often prayed
 G       Bm        C      G 
In the darkness of my night,
 G       Bm          C      G 
In the brightness of my day.
 G             Bm                C              G 
So if you' re travelin'  in the north country fair,
 G                    Bm     C             G 
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
 G         Bm     C              G 
Remember me to one who lives there.
 G         Bm     C             G 
She once was a true love of mine.
