G                                         Em
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night, yea-ah

C             G                D 
Sydney shines such a beautiful light

    G                                                            Em      
And I can see Bondi through the window way off to the right, yea-ah

      G                 D                     G                   C  
And a curling wave on a distant break and the sleeping city just about to wake  

         G                       D      G
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night



G                                                                      Em
Now the red roof's are catchin' the first rays of the morning sun, yea-ah

   C                G                     D 
My eyes are full of sand from my midnight run

        G                                                            Em
And the Captain says belt up now, we'll be touchin' down in ten, yea-ah

     G                   D                G                  C  
So I press my seat and I straighten up, I fold my tray and I stash my cup

       G                                 D                   G
As the red roof's are catchin' the first rays of the morning sun



G                                                                 Em
Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes, yea-ah

    C                G               D 
And sent her letters with one or two lies

         G                                                      Em
Have you ever longed to see the sun fall where it used to rise, yeah

    G             D            G                             C  
And quit your job on the spot, bought that ticket, yeah then spent the lot

         G                 D                            G
Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes


G                                       Em
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night             x 3

C                   D                G
Me, I've never seen Dallas from a DC-9
