Guitar chords with lyrics
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

No fields of waving corn

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
