verse 1
G D C
I wish I was in Glasgow with some good old friends of mine
G Em G D C
Some good old rough companions, some good old smooth red wine
G Em D C
We would talk about the old days and the old town's sad decline
G D C G
And drink to the boys on the road
D D7 C G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
C G Em G C
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G Em G D C
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
G D7 C G
And prepared me for life on the road
verse 2
G D C
I was born in Glasgow, in the East End of the town
G Em G D C
I would take you there and show you but they pulled the old place down
G Em D C
And when I think about it oh it always makes me frown
G D C G
They bulldozed it all to make a road
D D7 C G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
C G Em G C
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G Em G D C
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
G D7 C G
And prepared me for life on the road
verse 3
G D C
I belong to Glasgow, that's how the old song ran
G Em G D C
Ask anyone who's been there, you will understand
G Em D C
You can take the man from Glasgow but not Glasgow from the man
G D C G
It prepares you for life on the road
D D7 C G
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
C G Em G C
Yet still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
G Em G D C
Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
G D7 C G
And prepared me for life on the road
