Only a Northern Song - Yellow Submarine (1969) - The Beatles (George Harrison) Tabbed by: He My own way to play this great song by George Harrison. I don't know how close to the original it is but I like how it sounds in acoustic. For any suggestion please feel free to contact me. Hope you enjoy. NOTE: The whole psychedelic production that this song had just makes it hard to get it to sound like it should with only an acoustic guitar. I suggest to play it in this order to get a good sound: [Verse 1] [Verse 2] [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] [Chorus 2] [Verse 1] [Verse 3] [Instrumental 2] [Outro] Chords used: A (x02220) Bm (x24432) E (022100) D (xx0232) G (355433) C#7 (x46464) F#7 (242322) [Verse 1]
A
If you're listening to this song

                                   Bm
You may think the chords are going wrong

            E
But they're not

                      D
He just wrote it like that.
[Verse 2]
A
When you're listening late at night

                                     Bm
You may think the band are not quite right

         E                           D
But they are, they just play it like that
[Chorus 1]
       E              Bm7         G      C#7
And it doesn't really matter what chords I play

     F#7
What words I say

   Bm             F#7
Or time of day it is

          D    A       E
As it's only a Northern song
[Instrumental 1] (Played with the Verse rhythm) A Bm E D [Chorus 2]
   E              Bm7         G       C#7
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear

   F#7 
Or how I fare

   Bm            F#7
Or if my hair is brown

            D    A        E
When it's only a Northern song.
[Verse 3]
A
If you think the harmony

                            Bm
Is a little dark and out of key

       E                       D
You're correct, there's nobody there.
[Instrumental 2] (Played with the Chorus rhythm) E Bm G C# F# Bm F# [Outro]
      D                A      E
And I told you there's no one there
