Can I tell you the story of a poor boy,

 3   4   5    4  5  6  -5   5   -4
Who was sent far away from his home,

 6     5     5  -4    4  -4   5   6 -5
To    fight for his king and his country,

3   3 -3  4   -4   5    -4    4
And also the old folks back home

 3   4   5   5   5  5    5 -4    5  -4  4
now they put him in the hihgland division,

 3    4   5   4 5  6  -5   5    _4
Sent him off to a far foreign land,

 6    -5   5      5   -4  4  -4   5    6    -5
Where the flies flew around in their thousands,

 3     3   3  -3  4  -4  5    -4   4
there was nothing to see but the sand.


 3  4   5   5  5  5   -4  5    -4   4
Now the battle it started next morning,

3  4   5     4  5 6  -5  5   -4
Under neath the Ara - bian  sun,

6 -5  5  5 -4   4   -4   5   6 -5
I remember our poor Scouser Tommy,

3   3    3   -3  4 -4  5 -4  4
Who was shot by an old Nazi gun

3  4   5   5  5  5  -4    5    -4  4  -4  4   -4   4
As he lay on the battlefield   dying, dying,   dying,

 3    4    5    4   5   6  -5 5    -4   -4  -4  -4
With the blood gushing out of his head (of his head)


 6 -5  5   5 -4   4  -4   5     6 -5   6 -5     6 -5
As he lay on the battlefield   dying, dying,   dying,

  3     3   -3   4     -4   5  -4   4
These were the last words that he said:


 6     -5 5  3  4 -4 5 -4  4
Oooooh, I am a  Liverpudlian,

5   -5 6    6    6  -5  5 -5   -4
and I come from the Spi - on   Kop,

-4 -4  -3  3    -3 -4  5    -5
I love to sing, I love to shout,

5 -4   4   3    4   -4    -4  5
 I    get throw out quite a  lot.


6   -5  5  3  4     -4     5     -4  4
We Support a team, that dressed  in red,


 5  -5 6    6    -5 5  -5   -4
Its A team that   you   all know,

-4  -4 -4    -3  3   -3   -4  5  -5
Ita A  team that we call *Liverpool*,

 5   -5 6   6  -5 5  -4   4
and To  glory   we   will go.


6   6   -5   5      6  6   -5  5
We won the league, we won the cup,

6       6   6 -6  6   -5
We've been to Europe too,

-5   -5    -5  -4  -4  -5 -5  -4
We played the Toffees  for a laugh,

6    6   6   -5   5  -4    4   6 6
And we left them feeling blue (5-0)


6 6  6 6 6  6 6 6 6  6 6

6     5      6
Rush scored two,

6     5      6
Rush scored three,

-6   6     5     6
And Rush scored four ...
