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 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:

Oooooh, I am a Liverpudlian,
