[A] [B] [A] [F#] [D] [Em]
[A] [F#m] [E] [A] [F#m] [E] [A]
It was 1962, [D] I was [E] two years out of school, when I got [A] on board a boat that was [E] bound to Liverpool.
[A] The day I went [D] away, I [E] remember it so [A] well, said goodbye to the North [E] Wall, [A] made a bonfire
while I got down to the [F#m] snow.
It was [A] 1963, [D] I got a job [A] doing mills on Whale [F#m] Ground in [D] 2003.
[E] I was terrorised in Granny's, [D] with ten lads in [A] Barwick.
I [A] was smashed and blacked and drunk and young [E] and injured.
[A] They'd not build them because they lived in them, [D] it was sometimes [A] home and air.
I talked in tongues of madness, [F#m] keeping time [D] on a chair.
[A] I fought [E] arrest and non [D]-retirement, westwards to [A] Morgan and [D] Coldhurst.
I was [A] still a young man, [E] in a job or [A] two.
[F#m] [E] [A] [F#m] [D] [E]
[A] [F#m] [E] [A] [D] [E] [A]
[F#m] [Bm] [E] [A] [E] [A]
No sense of love and [D] rage, and I'm [E] going home again.
[A] Never did nobody run, never [E] earned a decent [A] wage.
It was [F#m] 1963, I [D] was on [E] a look at the North [A] Wall, to say goodbye to all the [E] black.
I'd been [A] up on the railroad, I'd been jumping up on the [D] railroad.
I [A] watched the sun [D] setting, the towns were [F#m] outperforming the people.
[D] [A] Away from all the [E] studying, [A] the suffering and the dying.
I [A] dreamed of the future, [E] the young and [A] the free.
But the years went by quickly now, [D] I swear I won't [A] return here.
Where each year just brings me closer, it's [F#m] a funny [A] misery.
Some of the kids will never [E] stretch their brow to hear, [D] or won't die [A] crying a pint of beer.
[D] Or eat their [A] stinking meals on [E] rails in W.
