Only A Northern Song lyrics by The Beatles

If you're listening to this song
You may think that 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 that the harmony
is a little dark and out of key
You're correct,
there's nobody there

It doesn't really matter
what chords I play
what words I say
or time of day it is
and I told you
there's no one there
