Tuning: G C E A
This beautiful and very easy song goes very well with ukulele.
I play it with a simple fingerpicking pattern and 3 chords:
C
A |--------------------------------|
E |-----0-------0-------0----------|
C |-0-------0-------0--------------|
G |---0---0---0---0---0------------|
F
A |--------------------------------|
E |-----1-------1-------1----------|
C |-0-------0-------0--------------|
G |---2---2---2---2---2------------|
Dm
A |--------------------------------|
E |-----1-------1-------1----------|
C |-2-------2-------2--------------|
G |---2---2---2---2---2------------|
It goes like this:
(Note: the change to Dm is at the end of the pause between lines, not right after the
previous line as it might look like here. Also I'm slightly unsure about the last two
lines, but I usually strum the last two chords)

To the south to the nCorth
CHeaded out the weFst winDmd
Going to find myself a hCome

By the shores of the sCea
CAnd the moon it is rFesting Dm
While the sun it breaks frCee
