Em                               D             G      
Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,  
G         Em                     D      G      
Where the winds hit heavy on the border-line,  
Em             C             G       
Remember me to one who lives there.  
G        Em    D            G      
She once was a true love of mine.  
   
Em                       D          G       
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,  
Em                         D      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                       D          G      
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,  
Em                        D        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                        D             G     
I'm a-wonderin' if she re-members me at all.  
Em              D     G       
Many times I've often prayed  
Em              C     G       
In the darkness of my night,  
Em                D     G     
In the brightness of my day.  
   
Em                            D             G      
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,  
Em                               D      G      
Where the winds hit heavy on the border-line,  
Em             C             G       
Remember me to one who lives there.  
Em             D            G      
She once was a true love of mine.
