G      Em9    C   C/B  Am9  X2


G              Em9             C        C/B        Am9    
>From St. Kilda to King's Cross is thirteen hours on a bus

G                Em9                C        C/B
I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines

Am9              
rushing past

C                 D            Em9
And all around me felt like all inside me

      Am9         C              D          
And my body left me and my soul went running

G            Em9             C        C/B     Am9          
Have you ever seen king's Cross when the rain is falling soft

G                Em9           C      C/B      Am9          
I came in on the evening bus from Oxford Street I cut across

C               D                  
And if the rain don't fall too hard

Em9                   Am9            
Everything shines just like a postcard

C               D                G        
Everything goes on just the same


C           C             G                 
Fairweather friends are the hungriest friends

C                           Em9             G     
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands

C    D     Em9   Am9   C    D    

G                Em9            C      C/B   Am9          
I want to see the sun go down from St. Kilda esplanade

G                    Em9           C        C/B        Am9        
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard

C                  D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Em9          Am9           
All that land, all that water,

C               D           
for that one sweet promenade.

C                 D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Em9          Am9            
All that land, all that water,

C                 D           
for that one sweet promenade.
