Life In A Northern Town Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][C]
[F][G][F][G]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
A [C]Salvation Army band played
And the children drunk lemonade
And the [F]morning [G]lasted [F]all [G]day
[C]All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day
[F]Pushing the [G]town a[F]way,[G]
[C]ah

[Chorus 1]
(Ah [C]hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya
Hey ma ma ma hey- [F]yah)
Life in a northern [C]town
(...ma ma ma ma)

[Verse 2]
They [C]sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
And [F]everyone [G]else came [F]down[G]
To [C]listen
He said, "In winter
nineteen sixty three
It felt like the world would freeze
With [F]John F. [G]Kenne[F]dy[G]
And The [C]Beatles" (yeah, yeah...)

[Chorus 2]
(Ah [C]hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya
Hey ma ma ma hey- [F]yah)
Life in a northern [C]town
(...ma ma ma ma)
(Ah [C]hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya
Hey ma ma ma hey- [F]yah)
All the work shut [C]down

[Verse 3]
The [C]evening turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain
As we [F]followed him [G]down[F][G]
To the [C]station
And though he never
(would wave good[C]bye)
You could see it written in his eyes
As the [F]train [G]rolled out of [F]sight[G]
[F]Bye [E]bye[C]

[Chorus 3]
(Ah [C]hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya
Hey ma ma ma hey- [F]yah)
Life in a northern [C]town
(...ma ma ma ma)
(Ah [C]hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya
Hey ma ma ma hey- [F]yah)
Life in a northern [C]town
(...ma ma ma ma)
[Repeat and fade]
