[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

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

As the train pulled out of sight, Bye bye
