(ver. 1)
Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 3rd Fret



[INTRO:] C  ~  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am

[VERSE 1:]
C        ~      Am
Whispers of the north
C      ~       Am
Soon I will go forth
C       ~        Am
To that wild and barren land 
      C      ~         Am
Where nature takes its course 
         G/B    C
Whispers of the wind
       ~       Am
Soon I will be there again 
C            ~        Am
Bound with a wild and restless drive 
              G        C
That pulls me from within


[CHORUS:]
           Am    C
And we can ride away
       G         Am
We can glide all day 
       F G C   Em Am
We can fly___  away


[INTERLUDE:] Am G/B C   G   Am


[VERSE 2:]
         G/B    C
Whispers of the north
Am     G/B    C
Soon I will return again
         ~       Am
To those endless afternoons
   C        ~      Am
In sunshine and in rain 
C        ~     Am
Whispers of my love
C        ~        Am
Days and weeks on end 
C      ~        Am
I will share my thoughts of her 
                G      C
In prayers that I will send


[CHORUS:]
           Am    C
And we can ride away
       G         Am
We can glide all day 
       F G C   Em Am
We can fly___  away


[INSTRUMENTAL:] Am  G/B  C  ~  Am   G/B  C  ~  Am


[VERSE 3:]
         G/B    Am
Whispers of the north
          G/B     C
The river and the shore
               ~      Am
In a land that tested Eskimos
             G/B     C
Ten thousand years before 
         ~     Am
Whispers of my heart
       G/B       C
In the tracks of animals 
       ~        Am
I will leave my footprints there
         G         C
To lie beneath the snow


[CHORUS:]
           Am    C
And we can ride away
       G         Am
We can glide all day 
       F G C   Em Am
We can fly___  away


[INTERLUDE:] Am  G/B  C  ~  Am


[VERSE 4:]
         G/B    C
Whispers of the wind
Am     G/B     C
I will feel it sting 
       ~      Am
I will see it rise and fall
C      ~       Am
I will hear it sing 
    C        ~      Am
The sound is like a song to me
   C      ~       Am
It takes away the pain 
    C     ~      Am
The river is the melody
           G     C
And sky is the refrain


[CHORUS:]
           Am    C
And we can ride away
       G         Am
We can glide all day 
       F G C   Em Am
We can fly___  away


[CHORUS:]
           Am    C
And we can ride away
       G         Am
We can glide all day 
       F G C   Em Am
We can fly___  away


[INTERLUDE:] Am  G/B  C  ~  Am


[OUTRO:]
C        ~      Am

Whispers of the north
C      ~       Am     F G Am Em Am
Soon I will go forth
