Poor Scouser Tommy - (Made famous by the KOP Choir)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello all of you Liverpudlians, I am a Liverpudlian myself and I feel kinda
sorry for the fact that this great chant hasen't got a chord or tab anywhere
on the net, so here it is. I have made it myself, so if you got any
corrections, please don't hesitate to contact me one way or another, so I can
fix it.
As some of you may know, the song has originally originated from the two
traditionally songs: "Red River Valley" and "The Sash" but later on a last
verse was added due to the embarrasing win to our merseyside rivals, the end
verse just follows the Beatles song "All You Need is Love"

A E A
Let me tell you the story of a poor boy
E
Who was sent far away from his home
A D
To fight for his king and his country
A E A
and also the old folks back home.
A E A
So they put him in a highland division
E
Sent him off to a far, foreign land
A D
Where the flies swarm around in their thousands
A E A
and there was nothing to see but the sand.
A E A
Well, the battle it started next morning
E
Under a Libyan Sun.
A D
I remember that poor scouser Tommy
A E A
he was shot by an old nazi gun.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_kop_choir/poor_scouser_tommy_crd.html ]
A E A
As he lay on the battlefield dying, dying, dying
E
with the blood gushing out of his head, of his head
A D
As he lay on the battlefield dying, dying, dying
A E A
These were the last words he said:-

D7
And we played the toffees for a laugh
G D G
and we left them feeling blue, 5-0!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(For the next part I like to hit the guitar with my knuckles to get a hollow knock to
follow the counting; but NO chords)
1, 2
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3, 4
5-0!
