[Dm] They stood upon [Fm] the deck, [C] as the ship [Gm] went out to sea,
The wind it took [F] the sail, [C] and left the land [Bb] a memory.
[D]
All [Dm] upon the shore [C] fought to wonder why [Bb] the sail closed,
All to [F] close their eyes [C] and wonder [Bb] what [D] sailor [G] knows.
[F] That is you [Bb] today, that is [G] how they think you are,
[F] [Bb] On a [G] land not sailing [C] by the North [D] Star.

[D] To the tower and [Dm] to the ravens [E] and the tale which [Bb] hosts they'll never leave.
What if [F] they should go?
[C] We always [Bb] pray to think of [D]
them.
[G] [D] I wonder if [Dm] they flew one [C] day, or [Bb] never knew they'd gone,
To circle [F] over ships at [C] sea, claiming [Bb] yet [D] another son.
[G]
[F] That is you to [Bb] me, that is where [G] I think you are,
On [F] [Bb] a [G] land but gone to [C] find the North [G] Star.
