Sugarland - Life In A Northern Town guitar tab

Intro: C-F-C

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

(Chant)

C

hey oh ma ma ma , Into the night

F C

hey oh ma ma ma hey ah, Life in a northern town.

hey ma ma ma

C

They sat on the stoney ground

And he took a cigarette out

Dm C

And everyone else came down - To listen.

It was in winter 1963

It felt like the world would freeze

Dm

With John F. Kennedy

F G7

And the Beatles

(Chant)

C

hey oh ma ma ma , Into the night

F C

hey oh ma ma ma hey ah, Life in a northern town.

hey ma ma ma - hey oh ma ma ma , Into the night

F C

hey oh ma ma ma hey ah, They shut the factory down.

hey ma ma ma

C

The evening had turned to rain

Watch the water roll down the drain,

Dm C

As we followed him down, To the station

And though he never would wave goodbye,

You could see it written in his eyes

Dm F G7

As the train rolled out of sight - Bye-bye.

(Chant)
