Oh my f^Gair North S^Dtar I have ^Emheld to you de^Carly I had a^Gsked you to s^Cteer me 'Til one ^Gcloud-scattered n^Dight I got l^Gost in my tr^Davels I met ^EmLeo the l^Cion Met a k^Ging and met a gia^Cnt With their e^Grrant li^Dght ^D7

There's the w^Emind and the r^Bmain And the me^Crcy of the fallen Who say t^Ghey have no c^Dlaim to know what's ^Emright ^C

There's the w^Geak and the str^Dong And the b^Emeds that have no ^Canswer And that's w^Ghere I may r^Dest my head t^Emonight ^C

I saw a^Gll the bright p^Deople In i^Emmposing flocks they l^Canded And they ^Ggot what they de^Cmanded And they s^Gcratched at the gr^Dound

Then they ^Gflew and the f^Dear Grew as s^Emweetly for the fl^Cightless Who had l^Gonging yet desp^Cite this Who could h^Gear every so^Dund ^D7

There's the w^Emind and the r^Bmain And the me^Crcy of the fallen Who say t^Ghey have no c^Dlaim to know what's ^Emright ^C

And if your s^Gister or your br^Dother Were st^Emumbling on their l^Cast mile In a s^Gelf-inflicted ^Cexile You'd wish for th^Gem a humble fr^Diend

And I h^Gope somed^Day That the ^Embest of Falstaff's pla^Cnners Give me s^Geven half-built ma^Cnors Where h^Galf dreams may d^Dream without ^Emend ^D

There's the w^Emind and the r^Bmain And the me^Crcy of the fallen Who say H^Gey, it's not ^Dmy place to know wha^Emt's righ^Ct

There's the w^Geak and the str^Dong And the m^Emany stars that guid^Ce us We have so^Gme of them ins^Cide us ^{G D G}
