Liverpool 8 Chords & Lyrics - Ringo Starr

Capo on 4th fret.

[VERSE 1]

N.[C] . [C] [F]
I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea.
Then I got a [C]job in a factor[F]y. [Am] [G7]
Played Butlin's [C]Camp with my friend Ror[F]y,
it was good for [C]him, it was great for [F]me. [Am] [G7]

[CHORUS 1]

[C]Liverpool I [G/B]left you, said 'good[Am]bye' to [Am/G]Madryn [F]Street.
[C]I always followed [G/B]my heart and I [Am]never [Am/G]missed a [F]beat.
[C]Destiny was [G/B]calling, I just [Am]couldn't [Am/G]stick a[F]round.
[C]Liverpool I [G/B]left you[E7] but I [Am]never [Am/G]let you [F]down.

[VERSE 2]

Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on.
With George and Paul and my friend John.
We rocked all night, we all looked tough,
we didn't have much but we had enough.

[CHORUS 1]

[VERSE 3]

In the U.S.A. when we played Shea.
We were number one. Man, it was fun.
When I look back it sure was cool,
for those four boys from Liverpool.

[CHORUS 2]

Liverpool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Admiral Grove.
I always followed my heart so I took it on the road.
Destiny was calling I just couldn't stick around.
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down.

[OUTRO]

La, la, la, la, la, la, La, la, la, la, la, la
Liverpool! Liverpool!
