Adelaide
(Paul Kelly)
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
The wisteria on the back verandah is still blooming
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
And all the great aunts are either insane or dead
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Kensington Road runs straight for a while before turning
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
We lived on the bend it was there I was raised and fed
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Counting and running as I go
C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
Down past the hedges all in a row
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD
In Adelaide, Adelaide In Adelaide, Adelaide
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Dad's hands used to shake but I never knew he was dying
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
I was thirteen I never dreamed he could fall
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
And all the great aunts were red in the eyes from crying
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
I rang the bells I never felt nothing at all
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
All the king's horses all the king's men
C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
Cannot bring him back again
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Do do do do Do do do do Do do do do do do do do
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Do do do do Do do do do Do do do do do do do do
G+G E minorEm
Find me a bar or a girl or guitar
D MajorD
where do you go on a Saturday night?
G+G E minorEm
I own this town I spilled my wine at the
D MajorD
bottom of the statue of Colonel Light
G+G E minorEm
And the streets are so wide everybody's inside
D MajorD
Sitting in the same chairs they were sitting in last year
G+G E minorEm D MajorD
(This is my town!)
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
All the king's horses all the king's men
C majorC E minorEm D MajorD
Wouldn't drag me back again
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G E minorEm D MajorD
to Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide, Adelaide...
