Verse 1
C
Dear dirty London in the pouring rain
I wish to God I was back
F
on the sea again
C
Though that belongs to the
world of never will be
There was never a wilder
F
bastard than me on the sea
C
F
I could fuck all the whores
C
in damnation me boys
F
Though they wriggled and hollered
C
and made a great noise
F
Then I'd drink till I stank
C
and then drink plenty more
F
And I won't go down to the sea any more
C
F
But if I had ten pounds then I'd
C
raise a loud cheer
F
And I'd toast all me neighbours
C
G
both distant an d dear
C
F
And I'd shoot back great belly-crippling
C
buckets buckets of beer
And a pox and a curse on the
people round here
Wouldn't give you me the price
F
of a half pint of beer
C
Wouldn't give you me the
F
price of a cup of good cheer
C

G
A pox and a curse on the people round here

Verse 2
C
A man's ambition must
indeed be small
F
To write his name upon a shithouse wall
C
But before I die I'll add
my regal scrawl
To show the world I'm left
F
with sweet fuck all
C
F
And when all of us bold
C
shithouse poets do die
F
A monument grand they will
C
raise to the sky
F
C
A monument made just to mark our great wit
F
A monument of solid shit now me boys
C
F
C
I met with Bill James we fought over crusts
F
I called him a whore and he
C
booted me crotch
F
Then we shared out the jack
C
and we thought it a treat
The compliments pass when
F
the quality meet
C
The compliments pass
F
when the quality meet
C
The compliments pass
F
when the quality meet
C
