Verse 1:
E minorEm          E MajorE
Sailed away from the old North Wall

Travelling feet gave me the call,
            F# minorF#m
Leaving, a suitcase in my hand,
    BB
With the price of a pint, didn't need a bite.
       E MajorE
There was good old craic on the boat that night.
D MajorD       E MajorE
As we left our homes in Ireland.

Chorus:
BB
And the lights they flickered from the shore,
  E MajorE
The boat was rocking to and fro,
A augmentedA        E MajorE       BB
Heading for the docks in Liverpool,
A augmentedA
We sang and danced the night away,
E MajorE
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played,
A augmentedA        BB      E MajorE
Stepping off the boat in Liverpool.

Verse 2:
E MajorE       BB    E MajorE
Rise up at the craic of dawn,

Working hard the whole week long,

At night time I'd play me old guitar,
    E MajorE       BB
And we sang together one and all,
E MajorE
Side by side and standing tall,
  A augmentedA          BB       E MajorE
The craic was good down in the Liffey bar

The pub was rocking to and fro,
A augmentedA        E MajorE       BB
Down beside the docks of Liverpool,

Stepping off at night in Liverpool.

Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland.
