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"
