Liverpool Light by Bill Staines
Em             D          Em          D
I've sailed this island for most of my life
       G             D          Em
All the way from the Minch to Dundee
       G                   D         Em   
And in Liverpool once I did take me a wife
         C            D          Em
And it's her that I'm longing to see

                G    D      C          D
Cho: Singing, shine, shine, Liverpool light
Em          D          GD
Shine on your children below;
          G    D      C          D
Singing, shine, shine, Liverpool light
Em             D         EmD
Shine on your children below
Em             D       EmD
Shine on your children below.

Em               D       Em            D
Three months ago April I left her with child
    G          D             Em
A child that was mine sure as she.
      G            D               Em   
But she'd not complain, for she's gentle and mild
          C             D       Em
And it's her that I'm longing to see.

Cho.

Em             D         Em       D
I've sinned a lot, for a sinner I be;
    G            D                Em
As a sailor, I've sailed in the storms.
       G          D               Em   
But in Liverpool, that's where I'm longing to be,
         C            D             Em
With her arms wrapped around me so warm.

Cho.

Em          D            Em       D
When the light from your tower is all that I see,
       G             D          Em
And her footsteps they run to the door.
          G                        D          Em   
Then I'll lift up my glass, and for all men to see,
       C       D          Em
I will vow to go sailing no more.

Cho.
