Intro: E A E 

verse 1 
Em                   E 
Sailed away from the old North Wall 

Travelling feet gave me the call, 
                        F#m 
Leaving, a suitcase in my hand, 
        B 
With the price of a pint, didn't need a bite. 
              E 
There was good old craic on the boat that night. 
D              E 
As we left our homes in Ireland. 

B And the lights they flickered from the shore, E The boat was rocking to and fro, A E B Heading for the docks in Liverpool, A We sang and danced the night away, E The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played, A B E Stepping off the boat in Liverpool.
A B E verse 2 E B E Rise up at the craic of dawn, B E Working hard the whole week long, A At night time I'd play me old guitar, E B And we sang together one and all, E Side by side and standing tall, A B E The craic was good down in the Liffey bar
B And the lights they flickered from the shore, E The pub was rocking to and fro, A E B Down beside the docks of Liverpool, A We sang and danced the night away, E The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played, A B E Stepping off at night in Liverpool.
Solo A E B E A B E verse 3 C F Now that was many years ago, But fortune came I'll have you know, B Leaving that old suitcase in my hand, F C The time has come to bid adieu F To good old pals in Liverpool B F Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland.
C And the lights they flickered from the shore, F The boat was rocking to and fro, B F C Heading for the docks in Liverpool, B We sang and danced the night away, F The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played, B F Stepping off the boat from Liverpool.
