Strawbs - The Man Who Would Never Leave Grimsby
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G F Bb Eb Dm7 G
[Verse 1]
Am C Dm
I was told about a man who would never leave Grimsby
F C Dm
And that may sound strange
Am C Dm
But his heart was in that town with his friends and his family
F C Am
But to make him leave
F C Dm
Would be pain indeed
[Verse 2]
Am C Dm
Now he could have toured the world, he was highly respected
F C Dm
But to make him go
Am C Dm
Would be ripping out his heart and leaving him restless
F C Am
So to see him play
F C G
Go the Grimsby way
[Chorus]
Dm7 C F D
‘Cause he has a little love, but he gives a lot of love
G F Em G
It doesn’t matter where he is
Dm7 C F D
If you’ve got a little love and you give a lot of love
G F
It doesn’t matter where you are, it’s up to you
Em G Dm7 G Dm7 G
You could be in Grimsby too
[Verse 3]
Am C Dm
Got a letter from a boy from a village in Kenya
F C Dm
He was such a fan
Am C Dm
So smitten by the band, they called him the Strawbs Boy
F C Am
And that made him proud
F C Dm
He would play us loud
[Verse 4]
Am C Dm
In the letter Lucky wrote that he’d been to Nairobi
F C Dm
Which I found quite sad
Am C Dm
Because he said he looked around, but he couldn’t see me
F C Am
With a faith like that
F C G
How I wish he had
[Chorus]
Dm7 C F D
Lucky had a little love and he gave a lot of love
G F Em G
Didn’t matter where he was
Dm7 C F D
If you’ve got a little love and you give a lot of love
G F
It doesn’t matter where you are, it’s up to you
Em G Dm7 G
You could be in Grimsby too
[Verse 4]
Am C Dm
If you ever meet the man who would never leave Grimsby
F C Dm
Try to make him see
Am C Dm
That the home is in the heart and you carry it with you
F C Am
You may never leave
F C G
And your spirit’s free
[Chorus]
Dm7 C F D
If you've got little love and you give a lot of love
G F Em G
Doesn’t matter where you are
Dm7 C F D
So, take a little love and you give a lot of love
G F
It doesn’t matter where you are, it’s up to you
Em G Dm7 Em F Dm G F Em G
You could be in Grimsby too
