Bm C# F# Sunburnt faces around, with skin so brown Bm C# F# Bm Smiling zinc cream and crowds, Sundays the beach never a cloud Bm Breathing eucalypt, pushing panel vans C# F# Stuff and munch junk food Bm Laughing at the truth, cause Gough was tough til he hit the rough C# F# Bm Uncle Sam and John were quite enough
