[Intro]
|  D|
[Verse 1]
It's just a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
The front Gdoors of the Ahouses open Dinto the street
There's no Groom for front Agardens, just a Dtwo-up, two-down
In a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
[Verse 2]
And you can Gsee the green Ahills 'cross the Drooftops
And a Gfresher wind Ablows past the Dend of our block
In the Gevenings the Amist comes Drolling on down
Into a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
[Verse 3]
And there's Gonly two Ateams in this Dtown
And you Gmust follow Aone or the Dother
Let us Gwin, let them Alose, not the Dother way round
In a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
[Verse 4]
And the Gstreetlights look Apretty and Dbright
From the Gtops of the Ahills that rise Ddark in the night
If it Gweren't for the Arain, you might Dnever come down
To your Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
[Verse 5]
And on Gpayday they Atear the place Ddown
With a Gpint in your Ahand and a Dbash 'em out band
Sure they'd Gdance to the Arhythm of the Drain falling down
In a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
[Verse 6]
And there's Gplenty of aArtists aDround
GPainters, steal Acars, poets, Dnicked guitars
'Cause we're Gout of the Ablack and we're Dinto the red
So Ggive us this Aday our Ddaily bread
In a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
[Verse 7]
But it's not GLeeds or AManchesDter
GLiverpool, ASheffield nor DGlasgow
It's not GNewcastle-on-ATyne ... it's DBelfast
It's just a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown
[Coda]
Merry GChristmas, Awar is Dover
In a Gnorthern inAdustrial Dtown

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

G A D

It's just a northern industrial town

G A D

The front doors of the houses open into the street

G A D

There's no room for front gardens, just a two-up, two-down

G A D

In a northern industrial town

[Verse 2]

G A D

And you can see the green hills 'cross the rooftops

G A D

And a fresher wind blows past the end of our block

G A D

In the evenings the mist comes rolling on down

G A D

Into a northern industrial town

[Verse 3]

G A D

And there's only two teams in this town

G A D

And you must follow one or the other

G A D

Let us win, let them lose, not the other way round

G A D

In a northern industrial town

[Verse 4]

G A D

And the streetlights look pretty and bright

G A D

From the tops of the hills that rise dark in the night

G A D

If it weren't for the rain, you might never come down

G A D

To your northern industrial town

[Verse 5]

G A D

And on payday they tear the place down

G A D

With a pint in your hand and a bash 'em out band

G A D

Sure they'd dance to the rhythm of the rain falling down

G A D

In a northern industrial town

[Verse 6]

G A D

And there's plenty of artists around

G A D

Painters, steal cars, poets, nicked guitars

G A D

'Cause we're out of the black and we're into the red

G A D

So give us this day our daily bread

G A D

In a northern industrial town

[Verse 7]

G A D

But it's not Leeds or Manchester

G A D

Liverpool, Sheffield nor Glasgow

G A D

It's not Newcastle-on-Tyne ... it's Belfast

G A D

It's just a northern industrial town

[Coda]

G A D

Merry Christmas, war is over

G A D

In a northern industrial town
