[verse: 1]
E     
 Life     goes on day after day  
E              
 Hearts    torn in every way

[chorus:]
     E               G#m
So ferry cross the Mersey
            F#m               B7                  
Cause this land's the land I love
                E     
and here I'll stay
 
[verse: 2]
E      
 People   they rush everywhere
E      
 Each     with their own secret care

[chorus:]
   E               G#m
So ferry cross the Mersey
    F#m            B7   
And always take me there
             E
The place I love

[bridge:]
F#m     B           E      
People around every corner      
F#m               B        E
   They seem to smile and say
F#m         B7             G#m
   We don't care what your name is boy
F#7                  B7
we`ll never turn you away
 
[verse: 3]
E 
 So      I`ll continue to say     
E
 Here    I always will stay

[chorus:]
    E               G#m
So ferry cross the Mersey
            F#m               B7    
Cause this land's the land I love
               E
And here I'll stay
E                         E
 And here I'll stay       here I'll stay
