[Intro] A D A A D A A D A [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.
[Guitarsolo] D A D A x2 [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.
[Outro]
A
I'm going down to the Liverpool Docks,

        D
Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks.

        E                D                A
And I never had a friend, I never needed one.
