On The Boat To Liverpool Acordes

	  
Intro: E A E 

verse 1 
Em                   E 
Sailed away from the old North Wall 

Travelling feet gave me the call, 
                        F#m 
Leaving, a suitcase in my hand, 
        B 
With the price of a pint, didn't need a bite. 
              E 
There was good old craic on the boat that night. 
D              E 
As we left our homes in Ireland. 

B 
And the lights they flickered from the shore, 
    E 
The boat was rocking to and fro, 
A               E             B 
Heading for the docks in Liverpool, 
A                                       
We sang and danced the night away, 
E 
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played, 
A                B            E 
Stepping off the boat in Liverpool.

verse 2  
E              B        E 
Rise up at the craic of dawn, 
          B      E 
Working hard the whole week long, 
                              A 
At night time I'd play me old guitar, 
       E             B        
And we sang together one and all, 
E                             
Side by side and standing tall, 
    A                   B             E 
The craic was good down in the Liffey bar 

B 
And the lights they flickered from the shore, 
    E 
The pub was rocking to and fro, 
A               E             B 
Down beside the docks of Liverpool, 
   A 
We sang and danced the night away, 
    E 
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played, 
A               B             E 
Stepping off at night in Liverpool.

verse 3 
C      F 
   Now that was many years ago, 

But fortune came I'll have you know, 
                                B 
Leaving that old suitcase in my hand, 
    F                C    
The time has come to bid adieu 
   F                        
To good old pals in Liverpool 
B                F 
Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland. 

        C   
And the lights they flickered from the shore, 
    F    
The boat was rocking to and fro, 
B               F            C 
Heading for the docks in Liverpool, 
   B            
We sang and danced the night away, 
    F 
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played, 
B                F 
Stepping off the boat from Liverpool.
