G C/G G C - G/B - Am7 - G - D Dsus-D
As I lay dreaming in my bed across the great di-vide.
Am7 Em C Em
I thought I heard the trawler boats - returning on the tide.
G C/G G C - G/B - Am7 - G - D Dsus-D
And in this vision of my home the shingle beach did ring.
Am7 Em C D
I saw the lights along the pier - that made my senses sing.
CHORUS: Em D
Oh oh-oh, Grimsby, a thousand delights -
Em Am D
couldn't match the sweet sights of-of-of my Grimsby.
C G D
Oh, England you're fair but there's none to compare with my Grimsby.
D#dim Em D | C / / / | / / Bm D |
Thru nights of mad youth I've loved every sluice in your harbor.
Em D
And in your wild sands from boyhood to man -
C | B / B/A / | B/F# / / / | {Intro, end in G}
strangers have found themselves fathers.
G C/G G C - G/B - Am7 - G - D Dsus-D
Take me back you rustic town, I miss your ma - gic charm.
Am7 Em C Em
Just to smell your candy floss or drink in the Skinners Arms.
G C/G G C - G/B - Am7 - G - D Dsus-D
No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty of your pies and peas.
Am7 Em C D
I want to ride your fairground. Take air along the quay.
{Repeat Chorus 2x}
