I Wish I Was In Glasgow


Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

   D MajorD        D7D7        C majorC        G+G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
  C majorC       G+G       E minorEm   G+G    C majorC
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G+G        E minorEm      G+G  D MajorD  C majorC
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
    G+G      D7D7     C majorC   G+G
And prepared me for life on the road

Verse 2:

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

Chorus:

   D MajorD        D7D7        C majorC        G+G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
  C majorC       G+G       E minorEm   G+G    C majorC
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G+G        E minorEm      G+G  D MajorD  C majorC
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
    G+G      D7D7     C majorC   G+G
And prepared me for life on the road

Verse 3:

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

Chorus:

   D MajorD        D7D7        C majorC        G+G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
  C majorC       G+G       E minorEm   G+G    C majorC
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G+G        E minorEm      G+G  D MajorD  C majorC
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
    G+G      D7D7     C majorC   G+G
And prepared me for life on the road
