🎸 Verse 1:
D           A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
A Salvation Army band played
         D           A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
And the children drank lemon-ade.
        Gmaj7    G6         G   A/G
And the morning lasted all day,
    D           A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
All day.

     D           A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
And through an open window came,
     D           A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
Like Sinatra in a younger day.
Gmaj7       G6      G   A/G
Pushing the town  a-way
D    A/D   Asus4/D  A/D
Ahh

🎸 Chorus:

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma, die-do-die-ny-ya
   D                      Gmaj7 G6
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma, hey-y-yah
Gmaj7     G6         D
Life in a northern town
    A/D   Asus4/D  A/D
Hey ma ma ma ma

🎸 Verse 2:
      D         A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
They sat on the stony ground.
    D         A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
And he took a cigarette out.
    Gmaj7    G6        G   A/G
And everyone else came down
   D    A/D  Asus4/D  A/D
To listen.

           D        A/D  Asus4/D  A/D
He said in Winter 1963
    D            A/D          Asus4/D  A/D
It felt like the world would freeze,
      Gmaj7   G6   G   A/G
With John F. Kennedy
        D    A/D   Asus4/D  A/D
And the Beatles. (yeah, yeah, yeah)

🎸 Chorus:
   D
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma, die-do-die-ny-ya
   D                      Gmaj7 G6
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma, hey-y-yah
Gmaj7     G6         D
Life in a northern town
    A/D   Asus4/D  A/D
Hey ma ma ma ma

   D
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma, die-do-die-ny-ya
   D                      Gmaj7 G6
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma, hey-y-yah
Gmaj7      G6         D
All od the work shut down
    A/D   Asus4/D  A/D

🎸 Verse 3:
    D           A/D        Asus4/D  A/D
The evening had turned to rain.
          D           A/D     Asus4/D  A/D
Watch the water roll down the drain.
       Gmaj7       G6   G   A/G
As we followed him down
        D    A/D  Asus4/D  A/D
To the station.

            D           A/D     Asus4/D  A/D
Although he never would wave goodbye.
          D            A/D      Asus4/D  A/D
You could see it written in his eyes
       Gmaj7        G6      G   A/G
As the train rolled out of sight
D   A/D  Asus4/D  A/D
Bye bye.

D   A/D  Asus4/D  A/D
