The Dubliners — I Wish I Was Back In Liverpool
[Chorus]
F Oh I wish I was back in Liverpool Eb F Liverpool town where I was born C Bb Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze, F No fields of waving corn Bb But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls F Bb And the black and tan flows free C Bb Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head F Eb F And it's Liverpool town for me
[Verse 1]
F 'Tis seven long years since I wandered away Bb F to sail the wild world o'er C Bb Me very first trip on an old steam ship F that was bound for Baltimore Bb I was seven days sick and I just couldn't stick F Bb that bobbin' up and down C Bb So I told them "Jack, you'd better turn back F Eb F for dear old Liverpool town"
[Chorus]
F I wish I was back in Liverpool, Eb F Liverpool town where I was born C Bb Where there ain't no trees, no scent of grease, F no field's of waving corn Bb But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls F Bb And the black and tan flows free C Bb Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head F Eb F And it's Liverpool town for me
[Verse 2]
F We dug the Mersey tunnel, boys, Eb F way back in thirty-three C Bb Dug an hole in the ground until we found F an hold called Wallasey Bb Then the foreman cried "Come on, outside! F Bb The roof is fallin' down" C Bb While I'm tellin' you, Jack, we all swum back F Eb F to dear old Liverpool town
[Chorus]
F Oh I wish I was back in Liverpool Eb F Liverpool town where I was born C Bb Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze, F No fields of waving corn Bb But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls F Bb And the black and tan flows free C Bb Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head F Eb F And it's Liverpool town for me
[Verse 3]
F There's every race and colour of face, Eb F there's every kind of name C Bb But the pigeons on the pier head F they treat you all the same Bb And if you walk up upon Parlament Street F Bb you'll get faces black and brown C Bb And I've also seen the orange-green F Eb in dear old Liverpool town
[Chorus]
F Oh I wish I was back in Liverpool Eb F Liverpool town where I was born C Bb Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze, F No fields of waving corn Bb But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls F Bb And the black and tan flows free C Bb Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head F Eb F And it's Liverpool town for me
