Yet more brilliance from I Am Kloot... the single Northern Skies from their Sky At Night album
Tuning:
Capo 5th fret
The chords are G, C, Am, D, C/B
The fingering is correct here, the rhythm is obvious from the recording!
I've put the basic chord names above the tab and in the corresponding places over the lyrics!

VERSE 1
=======
Above there are no stars tonight
Just Northern Sky
Reflected light upon your face
Some people think stars rule our lives
Some people they think otherwise
That they can be replaced
Where did you go
On that big black night
Did you take the coast road
Back through your life
See the sand the moon the stars
That shine their light and say well
They'll do alright for me
VERSE 2
=======
We shroud our lives in mysteries
Moving stars and stormy seas
If we have any sense
Storm clouds roll they're free to break
And we're free to make the same mistakes
Again and again
Where shall we go
On that big black night
Shall we take the coast road
Back through our lives
See the sand the moon the stars
That shine their light and say well
They'll do alright without me
REFRAIN 1
=========
Na na na Na na na
Na na Na na na na naaa
Na na na Na na na
Na na Na na na na naaa
VERSE 3
=======
Above there are no stars tonight
Just Northern Skies
Reflected light on fields of snow
Some people think stars rule our lives
Some people they think otherwise
What does anybody know
Where shall I go
On that big black night
Shall I take the coast road
Back through my life
See the sand the moon the stars
That shine their light and say well
They'll do alright for me
REFRAIN 2
=========
Na na na Na na na
Na na Na na na na naaa
Na na na Na na na
Na na Na na na na naaa
VERSE 4
=======
Where shall I go
On that big black night
Shall I take the coast road
Back through my life
See the sand the moon the stars
That shine their light and say well
They'll do alright for me
REFRAIN 3
=========
Na na na Na na na
Na na Na na na na naaa
Na na na Na na na
Na na Na na na na naaa
CLOSE (verse pattern)
=====================
See the stars in constellations
Sit beneath their congregations
