Song for the North Star Lyrics

QUAH (1974)
Easy song with some weird but simple chords. Sounds good in Drop D but it's not necessary.
su
They gave me money
to find the sky.
And I took it with no question, didn't even ask them why.
(then play this little riff):
us4
But days are open
us4
And skies are free
And the time it took to learn that
Didn't leave its chains on me.

su
I lived in shadow
us4
Way from the sun.
And the tremblin' in my mind
Kept my heart and body on the run.
(Improvise a fill like the ones above and end it with A)
ss4
When freedom called us
Called out our names....
And the beckon of the highway
Saw through all our useless games
(fill ending in A)
The love we wanted
ss4
Was lost in lies
And the chance that slipped on by me
Like the flashin' sorrow in her eyes
(fill ending in A)
Then we took the rise together
For the first time in our lives
Feeling just like one suspended
Then we said time won't keep our strife
ss4
Our time is open
us4
For us to see
And our freedom schemes are open
like the seagulls soaring at the sea
(fill)
And our freedom schemes are open
like the seagulls soaring at the sea.
