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
