[Verse 1]
D Dadd4add9 D November cold wind and the rain D Em7 A7sus4 A7 the Post Office workers complain D/F# G A D Damp crowded buses go silently by Bm Em7 A7sus4 A7 Homeward their journey again D Dadd4add9 D And at each stop, old friends say farewell D Em7 A7sus4 A7 And leave for the streets where they dwell D/F# G A D Up on the top deck, somebody sings Bm Em7 A7sus4 A7 With thoughts far away from this place G A D To the halls where the great singers graced
[Chorus]
D DM9/F# Em7 And those who were moved by the song A A#dim7 D Dadd9/C# Will carry their memories long Bm Bm/A E7sus4 E7 As each new dawn the melody runs G A D Dadd4add9 D Dadd4add9 Over the Lancashire hills
[Verse 2]
D Dadd4add9 D Benches and bare wooden floors D Em7 A7sus4 A7 A church hall with rattling doors D/F# G A D To the backwater streets of a grey northern town Bm Em7 A7sus4 A7 Come echoes of distant applause D Dadd4add9 D Then a newspaper falls in the hall D Em7 A7sus4 A7 Lying unread by the wall D/F# G A D It carries five lines of a critical kind Bm Em7 A7sus4 A7 They wouldn't detain you too long G A D They even spelt the name wrong
[Chorus]
D DM9/F# Em7 And those who were moved by the song A A#dim7 D Dadd9/C# Will carry their memories long Bm Bm/A E7sus4 E7 As each new dawn the melody runs G A D Dadd4add9 D Dadd4add9 Over the Lancashire hills
[Verse 3]
D Dadd4add9 D December the night clouds come D Em7 A7sus4 A7 The day's work is over and done D/F# G A D Late afternoon and it's cold by five Bm Em7 A7sus4 A7 Rain on the bus window runs D Dadd4add9 D And home in the evening gloom D Em7 A7sus4 A7 A fire glows in the front room D/F# G A D The music lies open, the metronome stands Bm Em7 A7sus4 A7 Window frames shake in the gust G A D Piano keys gathering dust
[Chorus]
D DM9/F# Em7 And those who were moved by the song A A#dim7 D Dadd9/C# Will carry their memories long Bm Bm/A E7sus4 E7 As each new dawn the melody runs G A D Dadd4add9 D Dadd4add9 Over the Lancashire hills D DM9/F# Em7 And those who were moved by the song A A#dim7 D Dadd9/C# Will carry their memories long Bm Bm/A E7sus4 E7 As each new dawn the melody runs G A D Dadd4add9 D Dadd4add9 Over the Lancashire hills
