Intro
A   E   D   A   D   E   A
Verse	 
 A		E		D		A
North of the border by the great Hudson Bay,
     D		A	           E
Smoke rises from an old shack
	   A	         E		D		A
And he sits at his table and sips from his cup,
  	       D		         E			A
While the snow wanders in through the cracks.
A	           E			    D	         A
At his feet rests an old dog from the Labrador line,
         D	          A	                         E
The big kind that don’t mind the snow,
   A	      E		   D	     A
He’s a trusted companion, a serious friend,
       D		      E	               A
A keeper of the secrets he’s told.
Chorus
  D				        E
As the night falls and they’re sharing the northern lights
    A	        E  	           D
Under a blanket of stars
D			            E
He tells his old friend he’s out on a limb again
           D			    E
He’s left the door to his heart ajar.
Verse
    A		      E		D	          A
He reads an old letter from some faded love
           D		A	                    E
He wishes that the mail train would come.
         A		          E		          D	   A
He puts down his papers and he grabs his guitar,
D	           E	                       A
And quietly he starts to strum.
Chorus
 D				        E
As the night falls and they’re sharing the northern lights
A	        E  	           D
Under a blanket of stars
D				 E
He tells his old friend he’ll never go back again
   D				         E
This time, they’ve both gone too far
Verse
        A	   E           D           A
Well a man’s gotta be just as strong as he can
          D		A	            E
The north country’s no place for tears
              A	      E		 D		  A
They look out a place that’ll freeze to your face
   D		E              A
But they’re the last of your soul’s souvenirs.
 	 A		        E		    D		      A
Well I hear there’s big medicine in a good woman’s love
     D		           A	                    E
 I hear there ain’t much it can’t do
          A		     E		    D	         A
With the strength of a polar bear, the fate of a dove
     D		E	  A
Turning the old into new
Chorus
	     D				             E
When the night falls and you’re sharing the northern lights
A	        E  	           D
Under a blanket of stars
  D			             E
Give your hand up to fate, don’t let go, celebrate
   D			          E
Time to find out who you are
Verse
    A		E		D		A
North of the border, by the great Hudson Bay
    D		A	          E
Smoke rises from an old shack
           A		         E		          D	    A
It seems it burnt to the ground when no one was around
D		         	       E	         A
And I doubt that they’ll ever be back
