DmAm
Have you ever been to North Point
DmAm
To spend your time and pray?
DmAmDm
The prison walls are dark and cold and grey.
Am
The writing on the wall at North Point
DmAm
Speaks to a silent room.
DmAmDm
They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom.
BbC
How could we get any closer?
F
So high is the wire and the guards won't listen,
BbCD
They won't believe me.
BbC
And then it all came back.
F
Somewhere far above has a new day risen?
BbC
Way beyond the searchlight,
D
Comes alive, comes alive.
DmAm
Then on a bright day at North Point
DmAm
The gate was open wide.
DmAmDm
They chanced to look at what was inside.
Am
There were a million stars at North Point,
DmAm
And from the silent tomb,
DmAmDm
They took it to the heart and left for the moon.
BbC
How could we get any closer?
F
So high is the wire and the guards won't listen,
BbCD
They won't believe me.
BbC
And then it all came back.
F
Somewhere far above has a new day risen?
BbC
Way beyond the searchlight,
D
Comes alive, comes alive.
DmAm
Have you ever been to North Point
DmAm
To spend your time and pray?
