Chords with lyrics

Chorus:

FF
Oh I wish I was back in Liverpool
     Eb MajorEb     FF
Liverpool town where I was born
      C majorC        Bb majorBb
Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze


FF
No fields of waving corn
      Bb majorBb
But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls
    FF          Bb majorBb
And the black and tan flows free
       C majorC          Bb majorBb
Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head
     FF     Eb MajorEb    FF
And it's Liverpool town for me

Verse 1:

FF
'Tis seven long years since I wandered away
       Bb majorBb    FF
to sail the wild world o'er
   C majorC         Bb majorBb
Me very first trip on an old steam ship
       FF
that was bound for Baltimore
    Bb majorBb
I was seven days sick and I just couldn't stick
    FF     Bb majorBb
that bobbin' up and down
    C majorC           Bb majorBb
So I told them "Jack, you'd better turn back
 FF     Eb MajorEb      FF
for dear old Liverpool town"

I wish I was back in Liverpool
Eb MajorEb     FF
Liverpool town where I was born
       C majorC        Bb majorBb
Where there ain't no trees, no scent of grease
FF
no field's of waving corn
      Bb majorBb
But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls
    FF          Bb majorBb
And the black and tan flows free
       C majorC          Bb majorBb
Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head
     FF     Eb MajorEb    FF
And it's Liverpool town for me

We dug the Mersey tunnel, boys
Eb MajorEb   FF
way back in thirty-three
    C majorC          Bb majorBb
Dug an hole in the ground until we found
 FF
an hold called Wallasey
     Bb majorBb
Then the foreman cried "Come on, outside!
FF          Bb majorBb
The roof is fallin' down"
      C majorC           Bb majorBb
While I'm tellin' you

Verse 3:

FF
There's every race and colour of face
Eb MajorEb    FF
there's every kind of name
     C majorC       Bb majorBb
But the pigeons on the pier head
   FF
they treat you all the same
    Bb majorBb
And if you walk up upon Parlament Street
      FF       Bb majorBb
you'll get faces black and brown
     C majorC          Bb majorBb
And I've also seen the orange-green
FF      Eb MajorEb
in dear old Liverpool town
