 Intro:  | E     |

 Verse 1:

 (E)        
     I have returned, to northern skies,
                              Am                            E
     Where the summer hasn't touched, the clouds that pass above
 (E)
     I have returned, to the somber grace,
                              Am                       E
     Of the days too early to come, and too hurried to stay.

 Verse 2:
 (E)
     Oh I have left, a million stars,
                   Am                 E
     And an ocean light, and clearly blue.
 (E)
     And I have left, the warmth of the sun,
                     Am                  E
     And a million adventures, not yet begun.

 Chorus 1: 
         D              A              E
    For once there was beauty here for me,
               D      A            E
    Under the wide_____, northern skies
         D              A             E
    And once there was magic here for me,
               D      A            E
    Under the wide_____, northern skies.

 Verse 3:

 (E)  
     I saw trees as green, and this dark as blue,
                     Am                  E
     Heartbreak and poetry, with deeper roots
 (E)
     Now I know, this is lonely country,
                      Am               E
     And it leads me only, back to the sea.


 Chorus 2:

         D              A              E
    For once there was beauty here for me,
               D      A            E
    Under the wide_____, northern skies,
         D              A             E
    And once there was magic here for me,
               D      A            E
    Under the wide_____, northern skies.

     Where the summer hasn't touched, the clouds that pass above
 (E)
     I have returned, to the somber grace,
                               Am                       E
     Of the days too early to come, and too hurried to stay.

    Under the wide_____, northern  skies,
