Song
Only a Northern Song - Yellow Submarine (1969) - The Beatles (George Harrison)
Tabbed by: He
My own way to play this great song by George Harrison. I don't know how close to the original it is but
I like how it sounds in acoustic. For any suggestion please feel free to contact me. Hope you enjoy.
NOTE: The whole psychedelic production that this song had just makes it hard to get it to sound like it
should with only an acoustic guitar. I suggest to play it in this order to get a good sound:
[Verse 1] [Verse 2] [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] [Chorus 2] [Verse 1] [Verse 3] [Instrumental 2] [Outro]
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Verse 1
If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
He just wrote it like that.
Verse 2
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
Chorus 1
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
Instrumental 1
(Played with the Verse rhythm)
Chorus 2
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.
Verse 3
If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct, there's nobody there.
Instrumental 2
(Played with the Chorus rhythm)
Outro
And I told you there's no one there
