Standard (EADGBE)
I'm heading back to the North Country
With the cold wind in my eyes
I'll be there by sunset
Before the first snow flies - [C,D]
Chorus 1
Rustle the leaves on the ground
This crazy feelin' hangin' round - [C,G]
I'll be remember now and then
But don't ask when I'll be back again - -
Had this dream late one night
'Bout working with the gang at the Mull River drive
Danny, me and Freddy Wright making a dollar a day
Just to stay alive. - [C,G]
Chorus 2
Rustle the leaves on the ground
Cold hard rain comin down - [C,G]
Sleeping there on the dark damp earth
For what it's worth, no reason can be found-
No, it can't be found
So if you're passing through the North Country
With the sunset in your eyes
You may find me on the rocky shore
Of that lonely Isle. - [

Chorus 2
I'm heading back to the North Country
With the cold wind in my eyes
I'll be there by sunset
Before the first snow flies - [C,G]
