[Verse]
Em                               C          G
Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Em                               C         G
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Em             C              G
Remember me to one who lives there.
Em              D            G 
She once was a true love of mine.
Em                               C          G
 Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
Em                               C         G
 When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Em             C              G
 Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
Em              D            G 
 To keep her from the howlin' winds.
Em                               C          G
 Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
Em                               C         G
 If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Em             C              G
 Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
Em              D            G 
 That's the way I remember her best.
Em                               C          G
 I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Em                 C        G
 Many times I've often prayed
Em               C        G
 In the darkness of my night,
Em                 C        G
 In the brightness of my day.
Em                               C          G
 So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Em                               C         G
 Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Em             C              G
 Remember me to one who lives there.
Em             C               G
 She once was a true love of mine.
