I Wish I Was Back In Liverpool chords by The Dubliners

Chorus:

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



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

Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

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

Verse 2:


F
We dug the Mersey tunnel, boys
Eb      F
way back in thirty-three
        C                   Bb
Dug an hole in the ground until we found
  F
an hold called Wallasey
          Bb
Then the foreman cried "Come on, outside!
F                   Bb
The roof is fallin' down"
           C                     Bb
While I'm tellin' you
Jack, we all swum back
F            Eb        F
to dear old Liverpool town

Chorus:

F
Oh I wish I was back in Liverpool
          Eb         F
Liverpool town where I was born
            C               Bb
Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze
F
No fields of waving corn
            Bb
But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls
       F                   Bb
And the black and tan flows free
             C                   Bb
Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head
         F         Eb       F
And it's Liverpool town for me

Verse 3:

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

Chorus:

F
Oh I wish I was back in Liverpool
          Eb         F
Liverpool town where I was born
            C               Bb
Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze
F
No fields of waving corn
            Bb
But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls
       F                   Bb
And the black and tan flows free
             C                   Bb
Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head
         F         Eb       F
And it's Liverpool town for me
