Verse 1:
C
Hiked up to Sydney in the week before Christmas
C
It was thirty-eight degrees in the shade
C
I bought a second-hand Morris for a cheap two-twenty
C
And drove it down to Adelaide
   F
She boiled for an hour twenty miles out of Euston
 C
I thought that heat would never end
C

But I knew I'd be home for Christmas with my Sandy
   F5  E5  D5  C5  G5
And a few extra dollars to spend


Chorus:
G
Home and broken hearted
     C
I've been pasted to the telephone
Am     Em    F       G     C
Boxing Day break was wasted sitting home on my own
  G5       F5  G5       F5      G5
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
      C5
And on the radio it's New Year's Eve
    Dm    Em     F         G      C
What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave


Verse 2:
C
I drove it to the buyer just as fast as I could go
C
I was talking to his teenage son
C
I sure hope it lasted for the poor little bastard
C
At least until he'd had some fun
  F
I caught a taxi homeward with great anticipation
C
Thinkin' all you have to do is try
C
There was a note propped up against the dressing table mirror
   F5  E5  D5  C5  G5
"Dear Jimmy, it's over, goodbye!"


Interlude:

Chorus:
G
Home and broken hearted

Boxing Day break was wasted sitting home on my own
  G5       F5  G5   N.C.   F5      G5
The beer we bought for Christmas ran dry this afternoon
      C
And on the radio it's New Year's Eve

What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave

Verse 3:
D
Went to a party, tried to drink myself happy
D
The steaks were washed away in the rain
D
Finished up in bed with an old acquaintance
    C
She'll never be my friend again
  G
And everyone was asking me where's the little woman
    D
Rolled home before the rain could stop
D                 C
I've been sitting for days reading pre-Christmas papers
    G5  F#5  E5  D5 A5
With my heels on the table-top

What a low down time of the year to pack your luggage and leave
