Mersey Paradise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][C][D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]River splashes against the rocks
And I [C]scale the [D]slope
I [C]hope the [D]tracks won't
[G]Lead me down to dark black pits
Or [C]places [D]where we [C]fall to [D]bits
[G]If she were there I'd hold her down
I'll [C]push her [D]under [C]while she [D]drowns
[G]And couldn't breathe and claw for air
She [C]doesn't [D]care for [C]my des[D]pair

[Chorus 1]
Or is it [C]me?[Bm][Am][G]
Oh, the one that's [C]wrong?
(the one that's wrong)
[D]You see it in the sea[C][Bm]
[Am]River [G]cool's where I [C]belong[D]

[Interlude 1]
In my Mersey paradise
[G][C][G][C]
[D][C][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]As I stare an oil wheel comes sai[C]ling by[D]
[C]And I [D]feel like
[G]Growing fins and falling in
With the [C]bricks, the [D]bikes, the [C]rusty [D]tin,
[G]I'll swim around without a care
I'm [C]eating [D]sand when [C]I need a[D]ir
You [G]can bet your life I'll meet a pike who'll
[C]wolf me [D]down for [C]tea to[D]night

[Chorus 2]
I want to [C]be (I [Bm]want [Am]to be[G])
Where the drownings [C]are (drownings are)
[D]You see it in the sea[C][Bm]
[Am]River [G]cool's where I [C]belong[D]

[Solo 1]
In my Mersey paradise
[G][G][C][D][C][D]
[G][G][C][D][C][D]

[Chorus 3]
[D]I want to be [C](I wan[Bm]t to [Am]be)[G]
Where the drownings [C]are (drownings are)
[D]You see it in the sea[C][Bm]
[Am]River [G]cool's where I [C]belong, [D]oh, yeah

[Chorus 4]
[D]I want to be [C](I wan[Bm]t to [Am]be)[G]
Where the drownings [C]are (drownings are)
[D]You see it in the sea[C][Bm]
[Am]River [G]cool's where I [C]belong[D]
In my Mersey paradise [G]0
