INTRO
(3/4 time)
D5 F5 F5 G5 Bb5
D5 A5 D5
D5 F5 F5 G5
Songs and melodies change and change
Bb5
And sway
D5 E5 A5
But they still stay the same
D5 F5 G5 G5
The songs that we sung when the dark days come
Bb5 D5 A5 D5
Are the songs that we sung when we chased them away
D5 F5 F5 G5
If I ever found a pot of gold
Bb5 D5 E5 A5
I'd buy bottles untold of the nectar of the vines
D5 F5 F5 G5
I'm going to die with a twinkle in my eye
Bb5 D5 A5
D5
'cause I sung songs spun stories loved laughed and drank wine
G5 D5 A5 D5
Tomorrow is another day
G5 D5 A5 D5
The cats are out to play, to play
G5 D5 A5 D5
That old rusty spaceship wants to sail
G5 D5 A5 D5
Into the milky way again
D5 Ab5 A5 /A5 /B5
/C#5
On a river of red red wine
[For this section, its really just the four chords written, but I included the bass
notes as at the start when it is slow, those are very pronounced. But its just the chords
with that Jewish Hora feel by alternating between the 5ths]
D5 D5 (repeat)
Run...
(let's have some)
G5 G5 (repeat)
Fun...
(we'll)
D5 D5 (repeat)
Drink...
(a toast to the)
A5 A5 (repeat)
Sun...
[Same chords as verse 1]
In summer the bushfires rage and rage
And rage
On such beautiful days
And we fight them with water that runs through the cracks
Water we're desperately trying to save
So I'll just live on wine and water my vines
And sleep on the wind with the fires right behind
And sing on the beaches and dance through the night
Oh we'll cry 'pass the wine, pass the wine, pass the wine'
G5 D5 A5 D5
Tomorrow is another day
G5 D5 A5 D5
The cats are out to play, to play
G5 D5 A5 D5
That old rusty spaceship wants to sail
G5 D5 A5 D5
Into the milky way again
D5 Ab5 A5 /A5 /B5
/C#5
On a river of red red wine
[Again, same chords as before]
Run...
(let's have some)
Fun...
(we'll)
Drink...
(a toast to the)
Sun...
[Instrumental solo. This part is the same chords as the "run run run" section. The
tricky part is the melody line, which I wont include, but if anyone actually wants it just
contact me]
F5 C5 A5 D5
Oh what a beautiful day today!
G5 F5 C5 F5
Today's a day to celebrate
F5 C5 A5 D5
Grab your bucket, grab your spade
G5 F5 C5 F5
We're heading down to Half Moon Bay
F5 C5 A5 D5
I saw a plane go into a cloud
G5 F5 C5 F5
I'm drunk I'm happy I'm singing and loud
F5 C5 A5 G5 A5 Bb5
[where the leading melody is C# D E D]
Two o'clock in the arvo, but hey that's allowed...
G5 F5 C5 C5 F5
A5 D5
I'm having a good time and of that I am proud
[Have fun playing. An amazing song. It needs to be here.]
