ALBUM: Liverpool 8
BY: Ringo Starr & Dave Stewart (Eurythmics)
YEAR: 2008
TABBED BY: Nadja Dee Witherbee
STANDARD TUNING E-A-D-G-B-e
Note: I figured out an easy version of this simple, but great new
Ringo Starr song. (Ringo of the Beatles!)
It sounds best to use barre chords.
Mainly it's just a progression of:
E x76454 (4th fret)
B 799877 (7th fret)
C#m 446654 (4th fret)
A 577655 (5th fret)
Play the intro verse chords
e----4----7-
B---5----7--
G-4-----8---
D-6-----9---

INTRO VERSE:
I was a sailor first [E(4th fret)]
I sailed the sea [B(7th fret)]
Then I got a job [E(4th fret)]
In a factory [B(7th fret)][C#m][A]
Played Butlins Camp [E(4th fret)]
With my friend Rory [B(7th fret)][C#m][A]
It was good for him [E(4th fret)]
It was great for me [B(7th fret)]
CHORUS:
[E] Liverpool I [B] left you
Said good[C#m]bye to Madryn [A] Street
[E] I always followed [B] my heart
And I [C#m] never missed a [A] beat
[E] Destiny was [B] calling
I just [C#m] couldn't stick a[A]round
[E] Liverpool I left you
But I [C#m] never let you [A] down
Little guitar solo bit

B-0-----------
G--1----------
D---2-4-2-2---

--And that's pretty much it. It repeats in the next verse and chorus.
I'm not the best guitarist but I think it gets the song across...
the universe, so to speak.
