[G] [F] [Eb] [C] [F]
[Eb] [C] [F] I'm proud to be a [Eb] northerner, cos northern [C] life's a style.
[F] To get back to the place [Eb] I love I'd run a [C] thousand miles.
[Bb] They say that where [F] there's muck there's brass, [Bb] but one thing has [F] me stumped.
[Bb] Why does the south [F] get all the brass [Gm] and we get [Eb] all the maw?
[C]
[F] Up North!
[C] Where the beer is [Bb] pressed!
Up North!
[C] Where you do wear [F] a vest!
Up North!
[C] Where I've been [Bb] army!
Up [C] North!
How's age [F] again?
Up North!
[C] [F]
[C] We [F] never went to Eton and [Eb] we never joined [C] the guards.
[F] We'd rather mix with grey people [Eb] in pits and [C] backyards.
[Bb] You can talk about [F] your privilege, [Bb] but the one that is [F] the best
[Bb] is the privilege of [F] coming from the [Gm] north, you can stuff the [Eb] flame in red.
[C]
[F] Up North!
[C] Where the beer [Bb] is pressed!
Up [C] North!
Where you do wear [F] a vest!
Up North!
[Cm] Where I've been [Bb] army!
Up North!
[C] How's age [F] again?
Up North!
[Eb] [F]
[Eb] [C] [F] They think we're thick as two short flanks [Cm] because of the way [C] we talk.
[F] They look amazed to see that we [Eb] can hold a knife [C] and fork.
[Bb] But our language is [F] our heritage, [Bb] we're not [F] bound to swap.
[Bb] Our roots are deep, [F] our hearts are here, [Gm] here we're [Eb] going to stop.
[C]
[F] Up [C] North!
Where the beer is [Bb] pressed!
Up North!
[C] Where you do wear [F] a vest!
Up North!
[C] Where I've been [Bb] army!
Up North!
[C] How's age [F] again?
Up North!
[C] [F]
[C] [F] Well isn't it a damn good job [Eb] that [C] slagheaps don't have wheels.
Because [F] we'd shove them down the M1 and [Eb] they'd soon see how [C] it feels.
[Bb] For ages we've [F] been breathing in [Bb] the dust of [F] factory smoke.
[Bb] There were coffee [F] bags a suit up, [Gm] and belching [Eb] lumps of [C] coke.
[F] Up North!
[C] Where the beer is [Bb] pressed!
Up North!
[C] Where you do wear [F] a vest!
Up North!
Where [Cm] I've been [Bb] army!
Up North!
[C] How's age [F] again?
Up North!
[C] [F]
[C] [N] Up North!
