[Verse 1]
[D]I've seen street corner pre[G]achers
[D]spending' discharge pay
Between peri[G]ods [C]of gettin' [D]stiff
And happy tip[G]plers
[D]singing' songs of discontent
With each [G]and every [C]passion' sip
[D]From the [A]bookmaker's clerk on
[D]the rowdy racing' circuit
Known as Tom [A]Sharkey's brawl[D]ing' bar
To the tender[G]s at [D]the pubs through
the illegal [G]sport[A]ing clubs
In [D]this town, [A]I call my [D]home

[Verse 2]
You see, I come from a fam[G]ily who
[D]more or less traditionally
Sends it's boys [G]off
to serve [C]Uncle [D]Sam
"Obey your or[G]ders and [D]protect your country",
said this father [G]to his Dis[C]heartene[D]d son
You see, I've [A]traveled overseas,
seen [D]forks in the road from [A]Raven to the Pubs [D]near Cunard Pier
But [G]the things weren't [D]the same,
at the place [G]where I [A]became
A [D]man in this town, I [A]call [D]my home
I'm goin' [Bm]home[G][D]
[A][Bm][G]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
I've seen street corner [G]preachers,
[D]spending' discharge pay
Between [G]periods of [C]gettin' [D]stiff
And happy [G]tip[D]plers
singing' songs of discontent
With [G]each [C]and every passion' sip
[D]From the [A]bookmaker's clerk on the
[D]rowdy racing' circuit
Known as [A]Tom Sharkey's brawling' bar
To [D]the [G]tenders at the [D]pubs
and illeg[G]al sporting [A]clubs
In this [D]town I [A]call [D]my home
To the [G]tenders at the [D]pubs and
[G]il legal sporting [A]clubs
In this [D]town I [A]call my home
