G                  C     G    C      G  Am7   G D  Dsus4 D
As I lay dreaming in my bed across the great divide
Am7                     Em          C                 Em   D  
I thought I heard the trawler boats, returning on the tide
G                   C     G         C   G  Am7   G   D   Dsus4 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, Grimsby, a thousand delights
          Em                    Am      D
Couldn't match the sweet sights of my Grimsby
    C                                 G                       Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh, England you're fair, but there's none to compare with my Grimsby
         Em                          D                          C
Through nights of mad youth, I have loved every sluice in your harbor
    Em                       D
And in your wild sands from boyhood to man,
   C                             B
strangers have found themselves fathers

Take me back you rustic town
I miss your magic charm
Just to smell your candy floss
Or drink in the Skinners Arms
No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty
Of your pies and peas
I want to ride your fairground
Take air along the quay
