Life In A Northern Town

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

 C
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
                             F
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
                     C
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma

  C
They sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
                         Dm       C
And everyone else came down to listen
It was the winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
               Dm     F         G7
With john f. Kennedy and the beatles, yeah, yeah

 C
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
                             F
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
                     C
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
 C
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
                             F
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
                      C
They shut the factory down
Ah hey ma ma ma ma

 C
The evening had turned to rain
Watched the water roll down the drain
                    Dm                 C
As they followed him down... To the station
And he would never wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
                     Dm       F        G7
As the train pulled out of sight, Bye bye

 C
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
                              F
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
                     C
Life in a northern town
Ah-hey ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
                             F
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
                    C
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
(strum once or use palm as drum)
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
                             F
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
                    C
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
(fully a capella)
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
                             F
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
                    C
