The Shadows of Liverpool

[Intro] (Guitar and drum intro) [Verse 1] There is a pub in Liverpool town They call The Shadowed Shore And it’s been the haunt of many a lost soul And now, I’m one for sure [Verse 2] My father was a sailor He sailed the seven seas My mother worked the docks at night Down in Liverpool streets [Chorus] Now the only thing a drifter needs Is a place to rest his head And the only time he’s satisfied Is when he’s in his bed [Bridge] Oh father, tell your children Not to roam where I have gone Spend your days in honest work Not in the shadows of the town [Verse 3] I’ve got one foot on the platform The other in the grave I’m heading back to Liverpool To face the lives I’ve saved [Chorus] There is a pub in Liverpool town They call The Shadowed Shore And it’s been the haunt of many a lost soul And now, I’m one for sure [Outro] (Guitar solo to fade)
