The Backroom chords by Chisel Cold

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
D
Down by the Hunter where the coal-trucks roll
D
And the billboards tell ya where to save your soul
G                      D
There's another place, does a better job by far
D
When the moonlight hammers on the railway bridge
D
And the whole world's lookin' for a beverage
G                          D
And you ain't got nothin', nothin' in the boot a the car
       A                    D
Time for the backroom at Dougie and Gleny Rae's tikki bar

Verse 2:
D
When the coal-trucks settle up and down the line
D
You can wake up thinking that it's '89
G                      D
But there's another sound, thicker than a Bolivar
D
You can hear it pumping out the roll-a-door
D
Walnut piano on a wooden floor
G                      D
Backbeat drummer, Roy on a slide guitar
        A                    D
Coming from the backroom at Dougie and Gleny Rae's tikki bar


Solo:
D    D    D    D
G    G    D    D
A    A    D    D


Verse 3:
D
When the high tide's suckin' at the old sea wall
D
And the full moon's lookin' like a mirror ball
G                      D
Bigger than Elvis, hotter than a speedway star
D
With a wet pay packet on a midnight hand
D
They say you can win a mariachi band
     G                  D
You can lose a girl, quicker than a coup de grace
    A                    D
In the backroom at Dougie and Gleny Rae's tikki bar


Verse 4:
D
Talk about the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
D
B-b-b-backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
       G
Yeah it’s the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
   D
B-b-b-backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
A
Oh yeah the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
     D
Oh in the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)

Verse 5:
D
I said haul that mother, haul that son
D
Haul that rubber to the end of a run
G                  D
That ain't got ridden since between the wars
D
All hidden from the liquor laws
D
Down by the Hunter where the coal-trucks roll
D
And the billboards tell ya where to save your soul
     G                 D
There's another place, does a better job by far
      A
That's the backroom (at Dougie and Gleny Rae's
A
It’s the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
A
It’s the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
A
It’s the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)
