Only A Northern Tune - The Interviews - The Beatles

If you’re listening to this song

You may think the chords are going wrong

But they’re not

We just wrote it like that

When you’re listening late at night

You may think the band are not quite right

But they are

They just play it like that

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 dark and out of key

You’re correct

There’s nobody there

And I told you there’s no one there
