[Capo 7]
Dm7 D C G D
D A4 A
I'm going up the 'Pool, from down the smoke below
D A4 A
to taste me mum's jam Sarnis and see our Aunty Flo,
Bm A4 A G Bm A4 A G
The candy floss salesman watches ladies in the sand
C G Bb C
down for freaky weekends in the hope that they'll be meeting
D C G Dm7 D
Mr. Universe.
D A4 A
The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea
D A4 A
and along the golden mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea.
Bm A4 A G Bm A4 A G
The politicians there who've come to take the air
C G Bb C
while posing for the daily press will look around and blame the mess
D C G Dm7 D
on Edward Pier.
D C G D
There'll be buckets, spades and bingo, cockles, muscels, rainy days
Bb C D G6
seaweed and sand-castles, icy waves.
D C G D
Deck-chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down,
Bb C D
a sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze.
We're going up the 'Pool from down the Smoke below
to taste me mum's jam Sarnis and see our Aunty Flo,
The candy floss salesman watches ladies in the sand
down for freaky weekends in the hope that they'll be meeting
Mr. Universe.
D C G D C G D Am
Oh, Blackpool, oh, Blackpool.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JETHRO TULL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
