Life In A Northern Town chords

Intro: C-F-C
C
A Salvation Army band played

And the children drank lemonade 
                  Dm                    C
And the morning lasted all day,  - All day
                             
And through an open window came 
                           
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
   Dm             F      G7
Pushing the town away - away 


(Chant)

They sat on the stoney ground

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    




And he took a cigarette out 
                        Dm           C
And everyone else came down  - To listen.

It was in winter 1963 
                                            
It felt like the world would freeze
              Dm
With John F. Kennedy 
F           G7
And the Beatles 


(Chant)

hey ma ma ma - hey oh ma ma ma , Into the night 
                    F                           C
hey oh ma ma ma hey ah, They shut the factory down.

The evening had turned to rain

Watch the water roll down the drain, 
                    Dm              C 
As we followed him down, To the station
                           
And though he never would wave goodbye, 

You could see it written in his eyes
                     Dm      F         G7
As the train rolled out of sight - Bye-bye.
