The lyrics in this song are a bit hard for an Aussie to interpret but here goes...

cStart (x3101x@1)the day as you left off
GA (320003@1)smoke is sure to clear your cough
FTake (133211@1)a sip from a wounded soldier
GThrough (320003@1)your coat over your shoulder
cDays (x3101x@1)are long and need punctuation
GThe (320003@1)first stop is a gas station
FBuy (133211@1)a pack of Old Golds
and some kind of beer you don't have to keep cold
cCoz (x3101x@1)the fridge is broke and that's alright
GYou (320003@1)got no food no apetite
FYou (133211@1)drink champagne and Krystal Lite
G (320003@1)                    cThat's (x3101x@1)breakfast in Seattle


cTake (x3101x@1)a walk up Denny Way
GTry (320003@1)to get the blood back to your feet
FGo (133211@1)find the Green Cat Cafe
Gand (320003@1)order someting to eat
cTwo (x3101x@1)eggs over hard
GPaid (320003@1)for on a gas card
FYour (133211@1)Daddy never reads the statement
GHe (320003@1)gets the Bills, then he pays them
cYou (x3101x@1)meet Jimmy like you always do
GHe's (320003@1)always in the same shape as you
FYou (133211@1)walk together down Denny Way
GShouting (320003@1)out at the traffic
cHey (x3101x@1)you slaves, you coffee jerks
FYou (133211@1)CEOs, you're late for work
cYou (x3101x@1)go back to the monastery
GWhere (320003@1)they are shootin' up in the sanctuary
FYou (133211@1)got a pallet on the floor
GWhat (320003@1)do you need a god damn job for?
cYou (x3101x@1)got credit and you got cash
GYou (320003@1)got coffee and you got hash
F (133211@1)You've got friends, I can never have
GI (320003@1)don't care, life's not so bad
cSure (x3101x@1)it's cold but you don't complain
GYou'll (320003@1)like Seattle when its gray and raining
FYou've (133211@1)had enough of the sunny south
GAnd (320003@1)redneck clubs, they sing about
cYou (x3101x@1)don't miss the slower pace
GYour (320003@1)mind--, it just loves to race
FYou (133211@1)got means and you know ways
GYou (320003@1)can stay away for days and days
cHere's (x3101x@1)the church and here's the steeple
Gand (320003@1)my hypodermic space needle
FOpen (133211@1)the door and take a peek
GOn (320003@1)the fingers there are the people
cSuddenly (x3101x@1)it all comes clear
GYou (320003@1)can see all the way to Melbourne (1) here
F (133211@1)Until the rain sets in for good
GDon't (320003@1)want your car washed, its understood.


cBaby (x3101x@1)you talk a mile a minute
Gand (320003@1)you tell the story, hey I'm in it
FI'll (133211@1)be walking with you all the way
GUp (320003@1)the hill, to the Green Cat Cafe


cThen (x3101x@1)it ends, like it began
GWith (320003@1)an ashtray and an empty can
FHad (133211@1)a battle you can stand
G (320003@1)                cat (x3101x@1)Breakfast in Seattle

(1) I know it's not Melbourne but I'm an Aussie and that's 
the nearest city that sounds like what they sing!

Phew! What an epic saga! This is the best I can with trying to
understand the accents. Some of the phrasing is a bit weird and
I am happy to be corrected on any lyrics that I have got wrong.

Please rate and or comment on this song!

Have fun with it.
