Uncle Sam and John were quite enough

It's just enough to make you want to cry

It's just enough to make you want to cry

I see buildings, clothing the sky, in paradise
Bm
Sydney, nights are warm
               C#         F#
Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn
Bm                                                     C#       F#

And no one goes outback, that's that
