 |  |  |  | etc
 I never felt magic crazy as this
 I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
 I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
 Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
 But now  you're here
Bright  in my northern sky.
 |  |  |  | etc
 It's been a long time that I'm waiting
 Been a long time that I'm blown
 been a long time that I've wandered
 Through the people I have known
 
 Oh, if you would and you could
 Straighten my new mind's eye.
 ....and so on, just repeat the chorus 2 and last verse using the pattern above.
 Would you love me for my money
 Would you love me for my head
 Would you love me through the winter
 Would you love me 'til I'm dead
 Oh, if you would and you could
 Come blow your horn on high.
 I never felt magic crazy as this
 I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
 I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
 Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
 But now you're here
 Bright in my northern sky.
 Hope this helps, enjoy playing this lovely song
