Artist: Dar Williams
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: [G]
Oh, my fair North [D]Star
I have [Em]held to you [C]dearly
I had [G]asked you to [C]steer me
'Til one [G]cloud-scattered [D]night
I got [G]lost in my [D]travels
I met [Em]Leo the [C]Lion
Met a [G]king and met a [C]giant
With their [G]errant [D]knight
[CHORUS]
There's the [Em]wind and the [Bm]rain
And the [C]mercy of the fallen
Who say [G]they have no [D]claim to know what's [Em]right [C]
There's the [G]weak and the [D]strong
And the [Em]beds that have no [C]answer
And that's [G]where I may [D]rest my head to[Em]night [C]
N.C.
I saw [G]all the bright [D]people
In [Em]imposing flocks they [C]landed
And they [G]got what they de[C]manded
And they [G]scratched at the [D]ground
Then they [G]flew, and the [D]field
Grew as [Em]sweetly for the [C]flightless
Who had [G]longing yet des[C]pite this
They could [G]hear every [D]sound
[CHORUS]
There's the [Em]wind and the [Bm]rain
And the [C]mercy of the fallen
Who say [G]they have no [D]claim to know what's [Em]right [C]
INSTRUMENTAL: [G] [D] [Em] [C] (2x)
And if your [G]sister or your [D]brother
Were [Em]stumbling on their [C]last mile
In a [G]self-inflicted [C]exile
You'd wish for [G]them a humble [D]friend
And I [G]hope some[D]day
That the [Em]best of Falstaff's [C]planners
Give me [G]seven half-built [C]manors
Where her [G]half-dreams may [D]dream without [Em]end [D]
[CHORUS]
There's the [Em]wind and the [Bm]rain
And the [C]mercy of the fallen
Who say, "[G]Hey, it's not my [D]place to know what's [Em]right" [C]
There's the [G]weak and the [D]strong
And the [Em]many stars that [C]guide us
We have [G]some of [D]them in[C]side us [G] [D] [G]
