North by North lyrics and chords by The Furey Brothers And Davy Arthur
Intro. chords [G] [C] [D] [G]
[G]They travel the long while those [C]women and men
who [D]only want the chance to start over a[G]gain
So easy to give up so [C]hard to get by
to [D]leave all their families and tongues far be[G]hind
Chorus

[C]North by North they travel [G]South by South
for [D]money in their pockets and [G]food in their mouths
[C]counting their pennies and [G]biding their time
[D]west to the ocean the end of the [G]line

[G]Away from the northwest it’s [C]factory towns
[D]for to find a foreign place to lay their bodies [G]down
so far from where they started so [C]little in hand
but [D]where did we go wrong in this grateful [G]land

Chorus

[G]They all used to work at the [C]auto and steel
‘till the [D]rung was pulled out tell me how do they [G]feel
for the man who has held all their [C]dreams in his hands
he [D]left with their money and left them with [G]sand

Chorus

we [D]stood on a corner and this he did [G]say
I followed the rules and I [C]never asked why
now the [D]systems not working and neither am I[C]
