Capo: 4

[INTRO]
[F] [C] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [C] [F]

[VERSE]
N[F]orth [C]of th[Bb]e bord[F]er by the great Hudson Bay,
Smoke[Bb] rises[F] from an old s[C]hack
And h[F]e sits at hi[C]s tab[Bb]le and[F] sips from his cup,
While the s[Bb]now wanders in [C]through[F] the cracks.
[F]At his feet re[C]sts an old [Bb]dog from the [F]Labrador line,
The big k[Bb]ind that don’t[F] mind the snow, [C]
He’[F]s a trust[C]ed compa[Bb]nion, a s[F]erious friend,
A keepe[Bb]r of the sec[C]rets he’s told. [F]

[CHORUS]
As[Bb] the night falls a[C]nd they’re sharing the northern lights
Unde[F]r a blanket[C] of stars [Bb]
[Bb]He tells his old fri[C]end he’s out on a limb again
He’s left t[Bb]he door to h[C]is heart ajar.

[VERSE]
He r[F]eads an old[C] lett[Bb]er from some f[F]aded love
He wishes t[Bb]hat th[F]e mail train would come[C] .
He puts d[F]own his papers [C]and he grabs hi[Bb]s guita[F]r,
[Bb]And quietly he [C]starts to strum. [F]

[CHORUS]
A[Bb]s the night falls [C]and they’re sharing the northern lights
[F]Under a bla[C]nket of stars [Bb]
[Bb]He tells hi[C]s old friend he’ll never go back again
Thi[Bb]s time, they’ve bot[C]h gone too far

[VERSE]
Well a m[F]an’s g[C]otta be just[Bb] as strong as[F] he can
The north [Bb]countr[F]y’s no place fo[C]r tears
They look out [F]a place t[C]hat’ll[Bb] freeze [F]to your face
But[Bb] they’[C]re the last of [F]your soul’s souvenirs.
Well[F] I hear there[C]’s big me[Bb]dicine in a [F]good woman’s love
I he[Bb]ar there ain’t mu[F]ch it can’t do [C]
With the s[F]trength of[C] a polar [Bb]bear, the fat[F]e of a dove
Turni[Bb]ng the[C] old [F]into new

[CHORUS]
When th[Bb]e night falls and you’r[C]e sharing the northern lights
[F]Under a bla[C]nket of stars [Bb]
Gi[Bb]ve your hand up to fa[C]te, don’t let go, celebrate
Tim[Bb]e to find out who [C]you are

[VERSE]
Nort[F]h of [C]the b[Bb]order,[F] by the great Hudson Bay
Smok[Bb]e rise[F]s from an old[C] shack
It seems it[F] burnt to the [C]ground when no [Bb]one was [F]around
[Bb]And I doubt that they’ll[C] ever be bac[F]k
