Northern Wish by Rheostatics
Northern Wish
C Em
wake up, raise the curtains
F C
on your deep provincial eyes
F C
speak out, for i am certain
F
that it's no disguise
C Em
'cause soldiers stopping traffic
F C
couldn't keep these wheels at bay
F C
their guns smoked and the sun broke
F
and we hauled away
C Em
and did you get my message
F C
on the peoples' radio?
F C
i wrote it in alberta
F
across the prairie spine
C Em
and "i'd rather jump the border
F C
than trail from east to west."
F C
then get the booking agent
F
to find another band
C Em
and mothers of the country
F C
take two flags and make a sail
F C
we'll sail the big dominion
F
this song is falling...
D
i built my rocket in a shed
A
i'm gonna launch it at the sun
D
i'm gonna launch it from my pad
F
oh - could i get this?
C G C
it's my northern wish.
C Em
meanwhile in the forest
F C
in a parliament of trees
F C
the ink will crack and dry all up
F
but the compass will swing, any-way
C Em
and we don't need mathematics
F C
we don't need submarines
F C
to tell how far that the land does go
F
until it hits the shore
C Em
and mothers of the country
F C
take two flags and make a sail
F C
we'll sail the big dominion
F
this song is falling
D
i built my rocket in a shed
A
i'm gonna launch it at the sun
D
i'm gonna launch it from my pad
F
oh - could i get this?
C G C
it's my northern wish.
C Em
wake up, raise the curtains
F C
on your deep provincial eyes
F C
speak out for i am certain
F C
this song is over
*****
the Go7 version adds a G chord between verses:
F G
and we hauled away...
C Em
and mothers of the country... etc.
