Capo 4th fret.
I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea.
Then I got a job in a factory.
Played Butlin's Camp with my friend Rory,
it was good for him, it was great for me.
Chorus:
Liverpool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street.
I always followed my heart and I never missed a beat.
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around.
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down.
Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on.
With George and Paul and my friend John.
We rocked all night, we all looked tough,
we didn't have much but we had enough.
Chorus:
Liverpool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street.
I always followed my heart and I never missed a beat.
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around.
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down.
In the U.S.A. when we played Shea.
We were number one. Man, it was fun.
When I look back it sure was cool,
for those four boys from Liverpool.
Chorus:
Liverpool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Admiral Grove.
I always followed my heart so I took it on the road.
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around.
Liverpool I left you but I never let you down.
La, la, la, la, la, la, La, la, la, la, la, la
Liverpool!
Liverpool!
