GUEST,Fruitbowlsdad_UK Lyr Req: I Wish I Was in Glasgow (Billy Connolly) (14) Lyr/Chords Add: I WISH I WAS IN GLASGOW (Connolly) 31 Mar 05


I love the Glasgow song, a great line " my Father , an Engineer, made me all I am".

I have tried to work this out, and I play it with Capo on the 4th fret.

My Chords are :

G                                                      C
Oh, I wish I was in Glasgow, with some good old friends of mine
    G                  Em             G                C            
Some good old rough companions, and some good old smooth red wine
          G                                     C
We could talk about the old days, and the town's sad decline
      G          D          G
And drink to the boys on the road


Oh, I was born in Glasgow, near the centre of the town

I would take yer there and show yer, but they pulled the buildings down

And when I think about it, it always makes me frown

They bulldozed it all, to make a road

Refrain:
          D                                  G
And that great old place I miss so much, has seen much better days
      C                G       Em             C
And still we talk about it, as we go our separate ways
    G                                     C
Oh but, Glasgow gave me more, than it ever took away
      G               D          G
And prepared me for life, on the road

Instrumental :

Refrain:


My granny was a cleaner, my grandad drove a tram

My Father, an engineer, made me all I am

They have seen the city come and go, and still they give a dam

There's so much to learn, along the road


And, Glasgow gave me more, than it ever took away

And prepared me for life, on the road
