[Intro] (interlude)
G D Em C G D
[Verse 1]
G
Are you feelin’ like the underdog?
Em D
Like every day’s stuck on repeat?
G
Come and sing a different song
Em D
On the sunny side of Oxford Street
[Chorus]
G C
In Manchester by the sea
Em D
How long will you wait for me?
G C
Let’s ride the magic bus again
Em D
Or maybe take the midland train to
G C
Manchester by the sea
Em D Am7
A revolution’s happening to me
Dsus D
Right here in Manchester by the sea
[Interlude]
G D Em C G D
[Verse 2]
G
Girlfriends hug at the coffee shop
Em D
There’s every type of person walking by
G
It’s a perfect day full stop
Em D
There’s even a smile on the traffic cop
[Chorus]
G C
In Manchester by the sea
Em D
How long will you wait for me?
G C
Let’s ride the magic bus again
Em D
Or maybe take the midland train to
G C
Manchester by the sea
Em D Am7
A revolution’s happening to me
Dsus D
Right here in Manchester by the sea
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
G C
I’m givin’ all my love away
Em D
Fillin’ up, I’m fillin’ up
G C
I’m givin’ all my love away
Em D
Fillin’ up, I’m fillin’ up
G C
I’m givin’ all my love away
Em Out
Fillin’ up, right here in Manchester by the bay
[Interlude 2]
G C Em D G C Em D
“So I was just a little confused when I was
writing this song, but my friend from the UK straightened me out.”
[Verse 3]
G
As I’m walkin’ ‘round the town
Em D
Singin’ this new song I’ve found
G
My friend comes and breaks my flow
Em D
Says “Hey man, now don’t you know that
[Chorus 2]
G C
Manchester’s got no sea
Em D
That’s just some bad geography
G C
This Manchester’s got no bay
Em D
That’s the one in the USA”
A D
No, Manchester’s got no sea
F#m E
But somehow it feels good to me
A D
Let’s ride the magic bus again
F#m E
Or maybe take the midland train to
A D
Manchester proud and free
F#m E Bm
A revolution’s happening to me
Esus E
Right here in Manchester NOT by the sea
