[F]
I wish I was back in Liverpool, Liverpool [Bb] town [F] where I was born
Where [C] there ain't no [F] trees, [Bb] no scented breeze, [F] no fields of waving corn
[Bb] But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls [F] and the black and tan [Bb] flows free
[Gm] There's six in a bed by [Bb] the old pier head and [F] it's Liverpool [Eb] town [F]
for me
Tis seven long years since I wandered away to [Ab] sail the [Bb] wide world [F] o'er
Me [Gm] very first [Bb] trip on an old steam [F] ship that was bound for Baltimore
I [Bb] was seven days sick and I just couldn't stick [F] that bobbin' up and [Bb]
down
[F] So I told them, gee [Bb] I'd better turn [F] back for dear [Eb] old [F] Liverpool town
I wish I was back in Liverpool, Liverpool [Bb]
town [F] where I was born
[Cm] Where there ain't no trees, [Bb] no scented breeze, [F] no fields of waving corn
But [Bb] there's lots of girls with peroxide curls [F] and the black and tan flows [Bb] free
[Gm] There's six in a [Bb] bed by the old pier [F] head and it's Liverpool [Eb]
town [F] for me
We dug the Mersey Tunnel boys way back in thirty -three
Dug an owl in the [Gm] grounds until [Bb] we found [F] an owl called Wallasey
Then the [Bb] foreman cried, come on outside [F] the roof has [Bb] fallen down
[F] Well I'm telling you Jack, [Bb] we all swam [F] back to [Gm] dear old Liverpool [F]
town
I wish I was back in Liverpool, Liverpool [Bb] town [F] where I was born
Where [Cm] there ain't [F] no [Bb] trees, no scented breeze, [F] no fields of waving corn
But [Bb] there's lots of girls with peroxide curls [F] and the black and tan [Bb] flows free
[C] There's six in a bed [Bb] by the old pier [F] head and it's Liverpool [Eb] town [F] for me
There's every race and colour of face, there's every [Bb] kind [F] of name
But the pigeons on [Bb] the pier head, [F] they treat you all the same
And [Bb] if you walk up up Parliament Street, [F] you'll get faces black [Bb] and brown
[F] And I've also seen them [Bb] orange and green [F] in dear [Eb] old [F] Liverpool town
I wish I was back in Liverpool, Liverpool [Bb] town [F] where I was born
Where there ain't no trees, [Bb] no scented breeze, [F] no fields of waving corn
[Bb] But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls and the [F] black and tan [Bb] flows free
