Cold Chisel – The Backroom (Guitar)

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

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

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

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)

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

A
