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

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