Verse 1:
G                  C/G   G    C     G/B Am7   G D   Dsus4 D
 As I lay dreaming in my bed across the great divide
Am7                      Em           C                  Em  D/F#
   I thought I heard the trawler boats, returning on the tide
G                   C/G   G        C   G/B Am7   G   D   Dsus4 D
 And in this vision of my home the shingle beach did ring
Am7                  Em           C                     D
   I saw the lights along the pier, that made my senses sing


Chorus:
       Em         D
Oh-oh, Grimsby, a thousand delights
         Em                     Am    D
Couldn't match the sweet sights of my Grimsby
    C                                G                       Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh, England you're fair, but there's none to compare with my Grimsby
        Em                          D                          C
Through nights of mad youth, I have loved every sluice in your harbor
    Em                      D               C                               B
And in your wild sands from boyhood to man, strangers have found themselves fathers

Verse 2:
G                 C/G    G       C    G/B  Am7 G  D    Dsus4 D
 Take me back you rustic town, I miss your ma-gic charm
Am7                   Em             C                     Em  D/F#
   Just to smell your candy floss or drink in the Skinners Arms
G                   C/G       G      C  G/B  Am7  G   D   Dsus4 D
 No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty of your pies and peas
Am7                    Em               C             D
   I want to ride your fairground, take air along the quay


Chorus:
       Em         D
Oh-oh, Grimsby, a thousand delights
         Em                     Am    D
Couldn't match the sweet sights of my Grimsby
    C                                G                       Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh, England you're fair, but there's none to compare with my Grimsby
        Em                          D                          C
Through nights of mad youth, I have loved every sluice in your harbor
    Em                      D               C                               B
And in your wild sands from boyhood to man, strangers have found themselves fathers

Oh-oh, Grimsby, a thousand delights
         Em                     Am    D
Couldn't match the sweet sights of my Grimsby
    C                                G                       Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh, England you're fair, but there's none to compare with my Grimsby
       Em         D
Oh-oh, Grimsby, a thousand delights
         Em                     Am    D
Couldn't match the sweet sights of my Grimsby
    C                                G                       Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh, England you're fair, but there's none to compare with my Grimsby
