[Verse 1]
D             Dadd4add9    D
November cold wind and the rain
    D           Em7        A7sus4   A7
the Post Office workers complain
D/F#         G        A        D
Damp crowded buses go silently by
Bm             Em7      A7sus4    A7
Homeward their journey again
D                     Dadd4add9       D
And at each stop, old friends say farewell
    D             Em7                A7sus4   A7
And leave for the streets where they dwell
D/F#      G         A        D
Up on the top deck, somebody sings
     Bm            Em7           A7sus4    A7
With thoughts far away from this place
       G               A             D
To the halls where the great singers graced
 
 
[Chorus]
    D     DM9/F#   Em7
And those who were moved by the song
     A  A#dim7   D            Dadd9/C#
Will carry their memories long
        Bm  Bm/A     E7sus4     E7
As each new dawn the melody runs
G        A          D     Dadd4add9    D     Dadd4add9
Over the Lancashire hills
 
 
[Verse 2]
D           Dadd4add9   D
Benches and bare wooden floors
  D                Em7      A7sus4   A7
A church hall with rattling doors
       D/F#      G            A             D
To the backwater streets of a grey northern town
     Bm        Em7        A7sus4    A7
Come echoes of distant applause
       D         Dadd4add9    D
Then a newspaper falls in the hall
D       Em7         A7sus4   A7
Lying unread by the wall
   D/F#         G          A        D
It carries five lines of a critical kind
     Bm         Em7          A7sus4    A7
They wouldn't detain you too long
G         A              D
They even spelt the name wrong
 
 
[Chorus]
    D     DM9/F#   Em7
And those who were moved by the song
     A  A#dim7   D            Dadd9/C#
Will carry their memories long
        Bm  Bm/A     E7sus4     E7
As each new dawn the melody runs
G        A          D     Dadd4add9    D     Dadd4add9
Over the Lancashire hills
 
 
[Verse 3]
D            Dadd4add9    D
December the night clouds come
    D             Em7      A7sus4   A7
The day's work is over and done
D/F#      G             A       D
Late afternoon and it's cold by five
Bm          Em7        A7sus4    A7
Rain on the bus window runs
    D           Dadd4add9 D
And home in the evening   gloom
  D          Em7          A7sus4   A7
A fire glows in the front room
    D/F#       G         A         D
The music lies open, the metronome stands
Bm            Em7          A7sus4    A7
Window frames shake in the gust
G          A         D
Piano keys gathering dust
 
 
[Chorus]
    D     DM9/F#   Em7
And those who were moved by the song
     A  A#dim7   D            Dadd9/C#
Will carry their memories long
        Bm  Bm/A     E7sus4     E7
As each new dawn the melody runs
G        A          D     Dadd4add9    D     Dadd4add9
Over the Lancashire hills
 
    D     DM9/F#   Em7
And those who were moved by the song
     A  A#dim7   D            Dadd9/C#
Will carry their memories long
        Bm  Bm/A     E7sus4     E7
As each new dawn the melody runs
G        A          D     Dadd4add9    D     Dadd4add9
Over the Lancashire hills
