Introdução: F C Bb F Bb C F
F C Bb F
North of the border by the great Hudson Bay,
Bb F C
Smoke rises from an old shack
F C Bb F
And he sits at his table and sips from his cup,
Bb C F
While the snow wanders in through the cracks.
F C Bb F
At his feet rests an old dog from the Labrador line,
Bb F C
The big kind that don&rsquo t mind the snow,
F C Bb F
He&rsquo s a trusted companion, a serious friend,
Bb C F
A keeper of the secrets he&rsquo s told.
Bb C
As the night falls and they&rsquo re sharing the northern lights
F C Bb
Under a blanket of stars
Bb C
He tells his old friend he&rsquo s out on a limb again
Bb C
He&rsquo s left the door to his heart ajar.
F C Bb F
He reads an old letter from some faded love
Bb F C
He wishes that the mail train would come.
F C Bb F
He puts down his papers and he grabs his guitar,
Bb C F
And quietly he starts to strum.
Bb C
As the night falls and they&rsquo re sharing the northern lights
F C Bb
Under a blanket of stars
Bb C
He tells his old friend he&rsquo ll never go back again
Bb C
This time, they&rsquo ve both gone too far
F C Bb F
Well a man&rsquo s gotta be just as strong as he can
Bb F C
The north country&rsquo s no place for tears
F C Bb F
They look out a place that&rsquo ll freeze to your face
Bb C F
But they&rsquo re the last of your soul&rsquo s souvenirs.
F C Bb F
Well I hear there&rsquo s big medicine in a good woman&rsquo s love
Bb F C
I hear there ain&rsquo t much it can&rsquo t do
F C Bb F
With the strength of a polar bear, the fate of a dove
Bb C F
Turning the old into new
Bb C
When the night falls and you&rsquo re sharing the northern lights
F C Bb
Under a blanket of stars
Bb C
Give your hand up to fate, don&rsquo t let go, celebrate
Bb C
Time to find out who you are
F C Bb F
North of the border, by the great Hudson Bay
Bb F C
Smoke rises from an old shack
F C Bb F
It seems it burnt to the ground when no one was around
Bb C F
And I doubt that they&rsquo ll ever be back
