I'm heading back to the North Country

With the [F]cold wind [C]in my [G]eyes

I'll be there by sunset

Before the [C]first snow [G]flies - [C,D]

Chorus 1: [F]Rustle the leaves on the [C]ground

[C]This crazy feelin' hangin' [G]round - [C,G]

[F]I'll be remember now and [C]then

[Am]But don't ask when [Em]I'll be back a[F]gain - [C]-[G]

Had this dream late one night

'Bout [F]working with the [C]gang at the Mull [G]River drive

Danny, me and Freddy Wright making [F]a dollar a [C]day

Just to stay [G]alive. - [C,G]

Chorus 2: [F]Rustle the leaves on the [C]ground

[C]Cold hard rain comin [G]down - [C,G]

[F]Sleeping there on the dark damp [C]earth

[Am]For what it's worth, [Em]no reason can be [F]found-[C]

No, it can't be[G] found

So if you're passing through the North Country

With the [F]sunset in [C]your [G]eyes

You may find me on the rocky shore

Of that [C]lonely [G]Isle. - [C,G]

Chorus 2

I'm heading back to the North Country

With the [F]cold wind in [C]my [G]eyes

I'll be there by sunset

Before the [C]first snow [G]flies - [C,G]

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

....I'll be back again
