[Intro] E A [Chorus]
A (John)   E                    (June)            A
Oh, I am a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire
(John)E A I'll leave you like a bum without a penny (June) E (John) A And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
           E                        A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
[Verse 1]
(John)  A                          E
I said, listen to me, baby, I gave up the lovin' trade

                                        A
I'm tired of all this runnin', jumpin', playin'
(June) E But you're like it down under the world with the Australian girls
                                               A
And there's not a word of truth in what you're sayin'
[Chorus]
A (John)       E                   (June)        A      
Oh, but I am a cheat and I'm a liar and you're a lovin' ball of fire

(John)      E                              A
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
           E                        A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
[Solo] E A x4 [Verse 2]
A (John)                           E
This is my greatest act, I've come boomerangin' back

                            A
Grinnin' like a Rudolf Valentino
(June) E But then you grab your travel load like a swingin' grimmin' dog
                                A  
And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney
[Chorus]
 A (John)    E                    (June)       A
'Cause I'm a cheat and I'm a liar but you're a lovin' ball of fire

(John)       E                             A
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
           E                        A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
[Outro] E A
