Intro:

Verse 1:
A D
Once knew a man who thought he was another guy,
A
he was livin' a lie.
A D
He took a chance by roaming the streets in the night,
A
Till he learned how to fight.
D A
He met trouble one night, another man with his wife.
D A
So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life.
D E
Now he's got to get away, hear him say
Chorus:
A
I'm going down to the Liverpool Docks,
D
Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks.
E D A E
And I never had a friend, I never needed one.
A
I'm going down to the silvery sea,
D
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
E D
And maybe I can go where I won't ever have to come
A E
back again.

Verse 2:
A D
He took his time, lived his life alone,
A
An' his thoughts were his own.
A D
He lived in a place he'd never heard of before,
A
In Block number four.
D A
Then one night at his door, he stood facing the law.
D A
On the paper he saw, what they wanted him for,
D E
They're gonna take him back, and he said
[Chorus softly]
A
I'm going back to the Liverpool Docks,
D
Gonna take a ride, gonna break some rocks.
E D A E
And I never had a friend, but I never needed one.
[turn to full voice]
A
Take a ride on the silvery sea,
D
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me.
E D
And I don't wanna go 'cause I know that I'll never come
A E
back again.
