Chords

I have always loved this version and have searched for the chords to match! This gets pretty close! [Intro] C F C [Verse 1]

 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

[Chorus]
 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 [Verse 2]

  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

[Chorus]
 C
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

                      C
They shut the factory down

Ah hey ma ma ma ma [Verse 3]

 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

[Outro]
