[Intro]
E  A  B  E
[Verse 1]
ESailed away from the old North Wall
Travelling feet gave me the call,
Leaving, a suitcase in my Ahand,
EWith the price of a pint, didn't need a bite.
There was Egood old craic on the boat that night.
AAs we left our Bhomes in IreEland.
[Chorus]
BAnd the lights they flickered from the shore,
The Eboat was rocking to and fro,
AHeading for the Edocks in LiverBpool,
We Asang and danced the night away,
The Esqueezebox and the fiddle played,
AStepping off the Bboat in LiverEpool.
E  A  B  E
[Verse 2]
ERise up at the crack of dawn,
Working hard the whole week long,
At night time I'd play me old guiAtar,
And we Esang together one and all,
ESide by side and standing tall,
The Acraic was good down Bin the Liffey Ebar
[Chorus]
And the Blights they flickered from the shore,
The Epub was rocking to and fro,
ADown beside the Edocks of LiverBpool,
We Asang and danced the night away,
The Esqueezebox and the fiddle played,
AStepping out at Bnight in LiverEpool.

[Verse 3]
Now Fthat was many years ago,
And fortune came I'll have you know,
Leaving that old suitcase in my Bbhand,
The Ftime has come to bid adieu
To me Fgood old pals in Liverpool
BbTomorrow I'll be Cback in FIreland.
[Chorus]
And the Clights they flickered from the shore,
The Fboat was rocking to and fro,
BbHeading from the Fdocks in LiverCpool,
We Bbsang and danced the night away,
The Fsqueezebox and the fiddle played,
BbStepping off the Cboat from LiverFpool
We were Bbstepping off the Cboat from LiverFpool.

[Intro]

E A B E

[Verse 1]

Sailed away from the old North Wall

Travelling feet gave me the call,

Leaving, a suitcase in my hand,

With the price of a pint, didn't need a bite.

There was good old craic on the boat that night.

A B E

As we left our homes in Ireland.

[Chorus]

And the lights they flickered from the shore,

The boat was rocking to and fro,

A E B

Heading for the docks in Liverpool,

We sang and danced the night away,

The squeezebox and the fiddle played,

A B E

Stepping off the boat in Liverpool.

E A B E

[Verse 2]

Rise up at the crack of dawn,

Working hard the whole week long,

At night time I'd play me old guitar,

And we sang together one and all,

Side by side and standing tall,

A B E

The craic was good down in the Liffey bar

[Chorus]

And the lights they flickered from the shore,

The pub was rocking to and fro,

A E B

Down beside the docks of Liverpool,

We sang and danced the night away,

The squeezebox and the fiddle played,

A B E

Stepping out at night in Liverpool.

[Solo]

E A E

A B E C

[Verse 3]

Now that was many years ago,

And fortune came I'll have you know,

Leaving that old suitcase in my hand,

The time has come to bid adieu

To me good old pals in Liverpool

Bb C F

Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland.

[Chorus]

And the lights they flickered from the shore,

The boat was rocking to and fro,

Bb F C

Heading from the docks in Liverpool,

We sang and danced the night away,

The squeezebox and the fiddle played,

Bb C F

Stepping off the boat from Liverpool

We were stepping off the boat from Liverpool.
