"Melbourne" by The Whitlams

Transcribed by Daniel Meijer 

Watch the key change in the bridge, the chords I've written are correct -
so even though the song is full of Dm's, it really IS a D in there...

To fill the verses (esp 3rd verse and outro), play this line under the G
chord:

e---------
b-3-2-1-0-
g---------


Intro:

Dm   G   Cm   F   Bb   Eb   Ab   Db   Dm   G   Dm   G


Verse:

G
She paints pictures on the wall
G
She eats all of the garden
G
And has an aversion to conviction
G
She calls her dog "The Bear."


Chorus:

Dm  G             Cm
In love with this girl
    F               Bb 
and with her town as well
 Eb                  Ab        
Walking 'round this rainy city
Db                  Dm              G
What a pity there's things to do at home
Dm              G
Things to do at home


G
She paints pictures on the wall
G
I awake to see the feelings
G
From the night before
G
She eats all of the garden
G
It's a jungle out there
G
And we won't return by dawn.


Dm  G             Cm
In love with this girl
    F               Bb 
and with her town as well
 Eb                  Ab        
Walking 'round this rainy city
Db                  Dm              G
What a pity there's things to do at home
Dm  G             Cm
In love with this girl
    F               Bb 
and with her town as well

Walking 'round this rainy city
Db                  Dm              G
What a pity there's things to do at home
Dm              G
Things to do at home


Bridge:

Bb   G    Dm       F
If I had three lives
Eb        F      C  G
I'd marry her in two
     Bb       G    Dm  F
I'm dreaming of a time
Eb                   F     D
When we sit when the music stops


G
She has an aversion to conviction
G
She's more confused than ever
G
Wont pay her fines
G
And wonders when the cops will get her
G
She calls her dog the bear
G
And walks me with him to the corner
G
In her pyjamas


Dm  G             Cm
In love with this girl
    F               Bb 
and with her town as well
 Eb                  Ab        
Walking 'round this rainy city
Db                  Dm              G

Walking 'round this rainy city

What a pity there's things to do at home
Dm              G
Things to do at home


Outro:

G
She paints pictures on the wall
G
I awake to see the feelings
G
She calls her dog the bear
G
And walks me with him to the corner
G
In her pyjamas
