[Ab] A few years ago, ladies and gentlemen, there was a group and they lived in this town [E] and
they became [Bb] famous after they left this town when they went back to their own [E] town.
[Ab] I'll give you three guesses about who I'm talking about.
[E] Beatles.
Beatles.
[D] Beatles.
[A] [E] Shut up!
So, [Ab] what we would like to do is we would like to sing a song about where the Beatles come from.
It's called The Leavings of Liverpool.
[C] [D]
[A] So fare thee well, [D] my old fellow.
My time [G] is nigh and we [A] will be.

But my darling when I say you'll come to me.
Fare thee well, face this land and state.
River Mersey, fare [A] thee well.
[D] I am bound for Humber [Ab] all the while.
