All chords are open chords. Play the root note of each chord, then pick the three 
below that, ascending and descending.

in the case of D(add G), it is a transition from D to G, so hammer the G on the E string 
going from D to G

in the case of G to F# to Em, play the root note of G then the A and D string as u would 
normal G chord, Play the F# note on the E string and then play the A and D strings 
then PLay the Em as standard as you move from G to Em

Intro: Em

Em
I have returned to the northern skies
Em
where the summer had not touched
Em
The clouds that pass above
       Am
Oh, and i have returned to the sombre grace
       D        C                     D
Of the days too early to come and too early to stay
    A
And I have left a million stars
       D
And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue
    A
And i have left the warmth of the sun
      D       C          D             D (add G)
And a million adventures not yet begun
G                                    F# Em
The great sense of passing through
Em
The great sense of passing through
Am                 Dsus2          G F# Em
The great sense of passing through
    Em
Oh, for once there was beauty here for me
A
Under these white northern skies
Am
And i felt the green was blacker
Am
And the blue was darker still
    D
My roots are lying deeper than i ever think they will again
A                       D    C       D           D(add G)
Heartache and poverty, under these northern skies
G                                  F# Em
The great sense of passing through
Em
The great sense of passing through
Am                 D            G   F# Em
The great sense of passing through

Outro: Em A Am D G
