  [Intro on some keyboard stuff, you can just play A(v)]

1. [A]If you're listening to this song

 [Bm]  You may think the chords are going wrong

   Now for the Anthology II version:

   The Anthology version has different words, here's my attempt at picking
   these:

   If you're listening to this song
   You may think the chords are going wrong
   But they're not, I just wrote it like that
   When you listen late at night
   You may feel the words are not quite right
   But they are, I just wrote them myself
   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.
   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 off and out of key
   Then you're right 'cos I sing it myself.

   That's it. If you've got the keyboard part or the bass, I'd be grateful
   to see it. Any comments, corrections etc, mail me.
