Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Capo II
G D
Oh my fair North Star
Em C
I have held to you dearly
G C
I had asked you to steer me
G D
'Til one cloud-scattered night
G D
I got lost in my travels
Em C
I met Leo the lion
G C
Met a king and met a giant
G D D7
With their errant light
Em Bm
There's the wind and the rain
C
And the mercy of the fallen
G D Em C
Who say they have no claim to know what's right
G D
There's the weak and the strong
Em C
And the beds that have no answer
G D Em C
And that's where I may rest my head tonight
G D
I saw all the bright people
Em C
In imposing flocks they landed
G C
And they got what they demanded
G D
And they scratched at the ground
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dar-williams/238640.html ]
G D
Then they flew and the fear
Em C
Grew as sweetly for the flightless
G C
Who had longing yet despite this
G D D7
Who could hear every sound
Em Bm
There's the wind and the rain
C
And the mercy of the fallen
G D Em C
Who say they have no claim to know what's right
G D
Em C
G D Em C
G D
And if your sister or your brother
Em C
Were stumbling on their last mile
G C
In a self-inflicted exile
G D
You'd wish for them a humble friend
G D
And I hope someday
Em C
That the best of Falstaff's planners
G C
Give me seven half-built manors
G D Em D
Where half dreams may dream without end
Em Bm
There's the wind and the rain
C
And the mercy of the fallen
G D Em C
Who say Hey, it's not my place to know what's right
G D
There's the weak and the strong
Em C
And the many stars that guide us
G C G D G
We have some of them inside us
