I [G] wish I was in Glasgow with some good old [D] friends of [C] mine
Some [G] good old rough com-[Em]panions, some [G] good old [D] smooth red [C] wine
We would [G] talk about the old days and the [Em] shipyard's [D] sad de-[C]cline
And we'd [G] drink to the [D] boys on the (C) road [G]
[G] I was born in Glasgow, in the Centre [D] of the [C] town
I would [G] take you there and [Em] show you but they [G] pulled the [D] old place [C] down
And [G] when I think about it oh it [Em] always [D] makes me (C) frown
They [G] bulldozed it [D] all to make a [C] road [G]
That [D] good old place I [D7] miss so much now [C] sees some better [G] days
Yet [C] still we talk [G] it as we [Em] go our [G] separate [Em] ways
[G] Glasgow gave me [Em] more than it [G] ever [D] took a-[C]way
And pre-[G]pared me for [D7] life on the [C] road [G]
[G] I belong to Glasgow, that's how the [D] old song [C] ran
Ask [G] anyone who's [Em] been there [G] you will [D] under-[C]stand
You can [G] take the man from [Em] Glasgow but not the [G] Glasgow [D] from the [C] man
It pre-[G]pares you for [D] life on the [C] road [G]
That [D] good old place I [D7] miss so much now [C] sees some better [G] days
Yet [C] still we talk [G] it as we [Em] go our [G] separate [Em] ways
[G] Glasgow gave me [Em] more than it [G] ever [D] took a-[C]way
And pre-[G]pared me for [D7] life on the [C] road [G]
I [G] still go to the city, to see how [D] things have [C] changed
The [G] pubs and clubs and [Em] shopping [G] the Clyde [D] the parks [C] the rain
But [G] still it makes me happy [Em] I feel [D] that I’ve come [C] hame
And [G] I’m still learning [D] life on the [C] road [G]
That [D] good old place I [D7] miss so much now [C] sees some better [G] days
Yet [C] still we talk [G] it as we [Em] go our [G] separate [Em] ways
[G] Glasgow gave me [Em] more than it [G] ever [D] took a-[C]way
And pre-[G]pared me for [D7] life on the [C] road [G]
Additional verse / alternative last verse (not used by Iain MacKintosh)
My [G] grannie brought the family up from the time we [D] lost our [C] mum
My [G] father was a [Em] good man and he [G] made me [D] all I [C] am
There was [G] always bread and butter, there was [Em] sometimes [D] even [C] jam
And there was [G] so much to [D] learn along the [C] road
