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
