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

C5
Start the day as you left off
G5
A smoke is sure to clear your cough
F5
Take a sip from a wounded soldier
G5
Through your coat over your shoulder
C5
Days are long and need punctuation
G5
The first stop is a gas station
F5
Buy a pack of Old Golds
and some kind of beer you don't have to keep cold
C5
Coz the fridge is broke and that's alright
G5
You got no food no apetite
F5
You drink champagne and Krystal Lite
G5                      C5
That's breakfast in Seattle


C5
Take a walk up Denny Way
G5
Try to get the blood back to your feet
F5
Go find the Green Cat Cafe
G5
and order someting to eat
C5
Two eggs over hard
G5
Paid for on a gas card
F5
Your Daddy never reads the statement
G5
He gets the Bills, then he pays them
C5
You meet Jimmy like you always do
G5
He's always in the same shape as you
F5
You walk together down Denny Way
G5
Shouting out at the traffic
C5
Hey you slaves, you coffee jerks
F5
You CEOs, you're late for work
C5
You go back to the monastery
G5
Where they are shootin' up in the sanctuary
F5
You got a pallet on the floor
G5
What do you need a god damn job for?
C5
You got credit and you got cash
G5
You got coffee and you got hash
F5 
You've got friends, I can never have
G5
I don't care, life's not so bad
C5
Sure it's cold but you don't complain
G5
You'll like Seattle when its gray and raining
F5
You've had enough of the sunny south
G5
And redneck clubs, they sing about
C5
You don't miss the slower pace
G5
Your mind--, it just loves to race
F5
You got means and you know ways
G5
You can stay away for days and days
C5
Here's the church and here's the steeple
G5
and my hypodermic space needle
F5
Open the door and take a peek
G5
On the fingers there are the people
C5
Suddenly it all comes clear
G5
You can see all the way to Melbourne (1) here
F5 
Until the rain sets in for good
G5
Don't want your car washed, its understood.


C5
Baby you talk a mile a minute
G5
and you tell the story, hey I'm in it
F5
I'll be walking with you all the way
G5
Up the hill, to the Green Cat Cafe


C5
Then it ends, like it began
G5
With an ashtray and an empty can
F5
Had a battle you can stand
G5                  C5
