Hide Lyrics Hint
When you're on tour, you seem to be living in suspended _ time.
It's very weird.
You're at home, [G] you live your ordinary life in the North,
and you do nothing but travelling.
And the brightest parts are when you're actually singing,
or when you're talking about singing.
[Fm] Meeting people is very nice as [G] well, or we're interested in finding songs, etc.
_ We're never really sure about where we're going to stay when we go out on tour.
_ _ If we're doing a big concert, we get put up by the organiser of the concert in a hotel,
or a boarding house.
But if it's a club, we stay with the club organiser or friends.
But it's not always possible, so we carry a mattress and blankets and sleeping bags
and stuff in the van, just to sort of lighten their burden.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ A North country [C] _ made [G] up to London _ has _ strayed
[Am] Although _ [A] with our nature _ _ it [E] did not agree _
And [Em] she's wept [G] and she _ sighed
And she's wrung her hands and [E] _
cried
_ _ _ _ How [Am] I wish once [E] again _ in [Am] the North [G] I could [A] _ _
_ be
_ [G] Where the _ oak and the ash and the bonny _ ivy [E] _ tree
_ _ _ _ All _ _ flourish and bloom in [Am] my North _ _ [A] country _ _
_ _ _ How _ _ sadly [C] I _ _ [G] romance, _ lamence, my dear home
_ Where _ [E] love and laughter are making _ _ way
Where [G] the bells they do [C] ring [G] and the little birds they [E] _
_ _ sing
_ And [A] the _ maidens and [E] meadows are pleasant _ and _ [Am]
gay
_ _ _ Where the [Em] _
[G] oak and the ash and the bonny _ ivy [E] _ tree
_ _ _ All _ [A] _
flourish [E] and bloom in [B] my North _ country _ _ _
_ [Am] Well _ I bet if I [C] _ pleased [G] I could _ marry with _ ease
For [Am]
where bonny lassies are, _
[E] lovers will come
[Em] But the _ lad that [G] I wed must be _ North [A] country [E] bred _
_ And _ _ must [Am]
carry me [E] back to [Am] my North [G] country _ home _ _
_ _ Where [Em] the oak and the ash [E] and the bonny ivy _ _ _ tree _
All _ _ flourish [E] and bloom in my [A] North [G] _
_ [Am] country
_ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ You've got [D] to move fast to keep [G] up with the times
For [Fm] these days a man [D] cannot _ _ ponder
There's a violin to say you must be on your way
And another to say you can't _ _ wander
_ Farewell to the saints and the old _ caravan
To the tinker, the gypsy, the travelling man _
Farewell to the thirty foot _ _ trailer _ _ _ _ _ _
