[Verse]
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj9
Well it's hotter 'n blazes and all the long faces
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5 E7+5
There'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5 E7sus4
There'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5 E7sus4 E7
From Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7
With newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4 E7
The train stopped in Serviceton less and less often
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7 Dm9 Dm6add9
There's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4 E7
Vic rail decided the canteen was no longer necessary there
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5 E7+5
No spirits, no bilgewater and 80 dry locals
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4 E7
And the high noon sun beats a hundred and four
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Dm9 E7sus4
There's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4
This tiny victorian rhubarb
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4
Kept the watering hole open for sixty five years
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5/C E7+5/B
Now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21st
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4 E7
Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
The tAmrain smokes down the xAsus2ylophone
Amadd9 Fmaj7-5/C E7+5/B
There'll be no stopping here
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5/C E7sus4 E7
All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
[Instrumental]
Am Amadd9 Dm9 Fmaj7 E7sus4 E7 Am Amadd9 E7sus4 E7
[Verse]
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7 E7+5
No Bourbon, no Branchwater though the townspeople here
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4 E7
Fought the vic rail decree tooth and nail
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5/C E7+5/B
Now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21st
Am Asus2 Amadd9 E7sus4 E7
Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
The tAmrain smokes down the xAsus2ylophone
Amadd9 Fmaj7-5/C E7+5/B
There'll be no stopping here
Am Asus2 Amadd9 Fmaj7-5/C E7sus4 E7
All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
