G Bmin C G Now if you're traveling the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine. 4 Girl from the North Country: 2
G Bmin C G Please see for me that her hair hangs long
It rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me that her hair's hanging long
For that's the way I remember her best. 5 Girl from the North Country: 3
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds. 6 Girl from the North Country: 4

If Not For You: Chords Verse:
F C Bb Amin Gmin Bridge:
Bb F C G 17 If Not For You: 1
F C Bb If not for you,
babe, I couldn't find the door
Couldn't even see the floor
Am Gm I'd be sad and blue - if not for you. 18 If Not For You: 2
If not for you,
babe, I'd lay awake all night repeat
Wait for the morning light
To shine in through, but it would not be new if not for you. 19 If Not For You: bridge 1
If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I’d be lost If not for you, and you know it’s true.
20 If Not For You: bridge 2
If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
Oh, what would I do - If not for you.
21 If Not For You: 3
If not for you, Winter would have no spring,
Couldn't hear the robin sing,
I just wouldn't have a clue, Anyway it wouldn't ring true,
If not for you 22 Simple Twist of Fate: Chords
G Bmin C Cmin G7
C 23 Simple Twist of Fate: 1
G Bmin They sat together in the park, As the evening sky grew dark
G7 C She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
Cmin ‘Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate. 24 Simple Twist of Fate: 2
They walked alone by the old canal, A little confused I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate.
25 Simple Twist of Fate: 3
A saxophone someplace far off played, As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
26 Simple Twist of Fate: 4
He woke up the room was bare; He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
27 Simple Twist of Fate: 5
He hears the ticking of the clocks; And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again how long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate.
28 Simple Twist of Fate: 5
People tell me it's a sin; To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin but - I lost the ring
She was born in spring but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you.
