Paul Kelly – From St Kilda To Kings Cross (Guitar)

G              Em               C        C/B        Am
From St. Kilda to King's Cross is thirteen hours on a bus

G                Em                  C        C/B
I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines

Am
rushing past

C                 D            Em
And all around me felt like all inside me

      Am           C              D
And my body left me and my soul went running

G            Em               C        C/B     Am
Have you ever seen King's Cross when the rain is falling soft

G                Em             C      C/B      Am
I came in on the evening bus from Oxford Street I cut across

C               D
And if the rain don't fall too hard

Em                     Am
Everything shines just like a postcard

C               D                G
Everything goes on just the same

C           C             G
Fairweather friends are the hungriest friends

C                           Em               G
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands

G                Em              C      C/B   Am
I want to see the sun go down from St. Kilda Esplanade

G                    Em             C        C/B        Am
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard

C                  D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Em            Am
All that land, all that water,

C               D
for that one sweet promenade

C                 D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Em            Am
All that land, all that water,

C                 D           G
for that one sweet promenade
