Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
Chord diagramG+G                    Chord diagramE minorEm
Back in early '96 in North West Australia
Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramF# minorF#m
I wonder why you were lyin' on the street alone
Chord diagramG+G                    Chord diagramE minorEm
Another accident inflicted on an innocent child
Chord diagramA augmentedA                    Chord diagramF# minorF#m
  In the home, while I was on the see-saw
Chord diagramG+G                            Chord diagramE minorEm
I was in the garden, readin' Papillon
Chord diagramA augmentedA                   Chord diagramF# minorF#m
Tellin' myself real people couldn't be so cruel
Pre-Chorus:
Chord diagramG+G                            Chord diagramE minorEm
And she said, "Honey, what's wrong "
                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
I said, "Babe, what's right "
      Chord diagramF# minorF#m                    Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramE minorEm
So we staggered off into the night, oh
Chord diagramA augmentedA                         Chord diagramF# minorF#m                    Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramE minorEm
I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky just to sleep at night, oh
      Chord diagramA augmentedA                  Chord diagramF# minorF#m                    Chord diagramG+G
So we linked arms and we staggered off into the night
Chord diagramE minorEm              Chord diagramA augmentedA    Chord diagramF# minorF#m               Chord diagramG+G
Drunk, but overjoyed     just to be employed


Chorus:
       Chord diagramG+G
By the boys
Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramG+G
The boys are killin' me
Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramG+G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
Chord diagramD MajorD                   Chord diagramG+G
I'm comin' as I am, comin' as I am
            Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramG+G
Even if you tell me I'm a liar
Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G
  The boys are killin' me
Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramG+G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G
Mantajarra Walyakarra
            Chord diagramF# minorF#m
Take a deep breath and hold your fire
Verse 2:
Chord diagramG+G                        Chord diagramE minorEm
Gesticulating wildly and passionate at cars
Chord diagramA augmentedA                                 Chord diagramF# minorF#m
Parked in the dark on the street, oh
Chord diagramG+G                           Chord diagramE minorEm
I would've fallen in a hole
                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
If you didn't have my shoulders tight
Chord diagramF# minorF#m
You're swaying like a see-saw
Chord diagramG+G                               Chord diagramE minorEm
If that's what it is to trust another, then you got it all
Chord diagramA augmentedA                         Chord diagramF# minorF#m
But I don't know if I can trust my country anymore


Pre-Chorus:
Chord diagramG+G                            Chord diagramE minorEm
And she said, "Honey, what's wrong "
                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
I said, "Babe, what's right "
      Chord diagramF# minorF#m                    Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramE minorEm
So we staggered off into the night, oh
Chord diagramE minorEm              Chord diagramA augmentedA    Chord diagramF# minorF#m               Chord diagramG+G
Drunk, but overjoyed     just to be employed


Chorus:
       Chord diagramG+G
By the boys
Chord diagramD MajorD            Chord diagramG+G
The boys are killin' me
Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramG+G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
Chord diagramD MajorD                   Chord diagramG+G
I'm comin' as I am, comin' as I am
            Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramG+G
Even if you tell me I'm a liar
Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G
  The boys are killin' me
Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramG+G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G
Mantajarra Walyakarra
            Chord diagramF# minorF#m
Take a deep breath and hold your fire
