I Wish I Was In Glasgow


Verse 1:

 G                    D     C
I wish I was in Glasgow with some good old friends of mine
   G       Em        G    D     C
Some good old rough companions, some good old smooth red wine
     G                Em     D  C
We would talk about the old days and the old town's sad decline
  G      D      C   G
And drink to the boys on the road

Chorus:

   D        D7        C        G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
  C       G       Em   G    C
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G        Em      G  D  C
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
    G      D7     C   G
And prepared me for life on the road

Verse 2:

G                   D    C
I was born in Glasgow, in the East End of the town
    G         Em        G     D     C
I would take you there and show you but they pulled the old place down
  G              Em   D    C
And when I think about it oh it always makes me frown
   G      D       C   G
They bulldozed it all to make a road

Chorus:

   D        D7        C        G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
  C       G       Em   G    C
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G        Em      G  D  C
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
    G      D7     C   G
And prepared me for life on the road

Verse 3:

G                  D    C
I belong to Glasgow, that's how the old song ran
  G      Em     G    D     C
Ask anyone who's been there, you will understand
    G                 Em   D    C
You can take the man from Glasgow but not Glasgow from the man
   G       D      C   G
It prepares you for life on the road

Chorus:

   D        D7        C        G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
  C       G       Em   G    C
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G        Em      G  D  C
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
    G      D7     C   G
And prepared me for life on the road
