[VERSE 1:]
C ~ Am
Whispers of the north
C ~ Am
Soon I will go forth
C ~ Am
To that wild and barren land
C ~ Am
Where nature takes its course
Whispers [G/B]of the [C]wind
~ Am
Soon I will be there again
C ~ Am
Bound with a wild and restless drive
That pulls me [G]from with[C]in
[CBORUS:]
And we can [Am]ride a[C]way
We can [G]glide all [Am]day
We can [F]fl[G]y_[C]__ [Em]awa[Am]y

To those endless afternoons
C ~ Am
In sunshine and in rain
C ~ Am
Whispers of my love
C ~ Am
Days and weeks on end
C ~ Am
I will share my thoughts of her
In prayers that [G]I will [C]send

We can [G]glide all [Am]day

Whispers [G/B]of the [Am]north
The river [G/B]and the [C]shore

In a land that tested Eskimos
Ten thousand [G/B]years be[C]fore
~ Am
Whispers of my heart
In the [G/B]tracks of [C]animals
~ Am
I will leave my footprints there
To lie be[G]neath the [C]snow

We can [G]glide all [Am]day

The sound is like a song to me

It takes away the pain

The river is the melody
And sky is [G]the re[C]frain
