Rick Springfield – Life In A Northern Town (Guitar)

                   E


[Verse]

[tab]   E
A salvation army band played

        E
And the children drank lemon-ade.

        A
And the morning lasted all day,

E
All day.

    E
And through an open window came,

       E
Like Sinatra in a younger day.

A                      E
Pushing the town a-way ooh

E
Hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay

E
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay

A
Ah

                   E
Life in a northern town hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay

     E
They sat on the stony ground.

    E
And he took a cigarette out.

    A                          E
And everyone else came down to listen.

           E
He said in Winter 1963

   E
It felt like the world would freeze,

     A                       E
With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles.

E
Hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay

E
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay

A
Ah

                   E
Life in a northern town hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay

E
Hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay

E
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay

A
Ah

                     E
All of the work shut down hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay

    E
The evening had turned to rain.

          E
Watch the water roll down the drain.

      A                        E
As we followed him down to the station.

            E
Although he never would've waved goodbye.

          E
You could see it written in his eyes

       A                          Am  E
As the train rolled out of sight, bye bye.

E
Hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay

E
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay

A
