This is where the east meets west,
FG
and this is where we are our best,

Goodbye to the good ol' days,
FG
put all that stuff away.
FG
Our belief is bigger than our doubt,
AmG
time to begin,
FGCG
This is where the north meets south.

Calling all our wisdom and clout.
AmG
Time to begin,
FGC
This is where the north meets south.
[Interlude]CGFGx2FGAmGFGC[Verse]CG
This is where we start to heal,
FG
it's a brand new deal,
CG
Listen to the ol' bell ring,
FG
this is where they did those things.
FG
All that fighting and flailing about,
AmG
this is where it ends,
FG
This is where the north
CG
meets south.

How to play North Meets South: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for North Meets South by David Mallett on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
To play North Meets South by David Mallett, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 4 chords: C, G, F and Am.
Listen for C – G – F – G (I – V – IV – V in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, D, C, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
