On The Boat To Liverpool chords by Nathan Carter

E
A     E

Verse 1:
Em                   E
Sailed away from the old North Wall

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

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

A      B      E

Verse 2:
E              B        E
Rise up at the craic of dawn,
          B      E
Working hard the whole week long,
                              A
At night time I'd play me old guitar,
       E             B
And we sang together one and all,
E
Side by side and standing tall,
    A                   B             E
The craic was good down in the Liffey bar

Chorus:
B
And the lights they flickered from the shore,
    E
The pub was rocking to and fro,
A               E             B
Down beside the docks of Liverpool,
   A
We sang and danced the night away,
    E
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played,
A               B             E
Stepping off at night in Liverpool.

Solo:
A  E  B  E
A  B  E

Verse 3:
C      F
   Now that was many years ago,

But fortune came I'll have you know,
                                B
Leaving that old suitcase in my hand,
    F                C
The time has come to bid adieu
   F
To good old pals in Liverpool
B                F
Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland.

Chorus:
        C
And the lights they flickered from the shore,
    F
The boat was rocking to and fro,
B               F            C
Heading for the docks in Liverpool,
   B
We sang and danced the night away,
    F
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played,
B                F
