ONLY A NORTHERN SONG - The Beatles, Yellow Submarine 1969.
----------------------
Transcribed by Jacek Dziedzic (a_loser@hotmail.com)
This is a great song by George IMHO and I couldn't find it anywhere on the
net, so here goes. This only an attempt, and it indeed is one of my very
first songs to do, so don't blame me... :) If you can do better, I'd love
to see it.
I didn't bother to do the organ or whatever part in the beginning. Also if
you can tab the bass, send it to me...
Any comments, death threats, corrections, thanks -> a_loser@hotmail.com
Words taken from some site on the net, but I can't recall now.
This is the version from the LP. Differences for the Anthology II version
are discussed later.

1. If you're listening to this song
Bm
You may think the chords are going wrong
A(v)
But they're not he just wrote it like that.
A(v)
2. When you're listening late at night
Bm
You may think the band are not quite right

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beatles/only_a_northern_song_crd_ver_2.html ]
E
It doesn't really matter what chords I play
F#m F# Bm F#
What words I say or time of day it is
D A E
As it's only a Northern song
[Play verse chords without lyrics: A(v) Bm A(v)]
E
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
F#m F# Bm F#
Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
D A E
When it's only a Northern song.
A(v)
If you think the harmony
Bm
Is a little dark and out of key
A(v)
You're correct, there's nobody there.
[Play chorus chords without lyrics: E F#m F# Bm F#]
D A E
And I told you there's no one there.
[Fade out on verse chords: A(v) Bm A(v) Bm...]

Now for the Anthology II version:
The Anthology version has different words, here's my attempt at picking
these:
If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not, I just wrote it like that
When you listen late at night
You may feel the words are not quite right
But they are, I just wrote them myself
And it doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song.
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
When it's only a Northern song.
If you think the harmony
Is a little off and out of key
Then you're right 'cos I sing it myself.
That's it. If you've got the keyboard part or the bass, I'd be grateful
to see it. Any comments, corrections etc, mail me.
