G There's a bustle in the city, G7 C there's excitement in the scrubs D There's a drone of rowdy voices D7 G in every Aussie pub
For a year we've all been waiting
G7 C and we've put our money up D And we're out to back the winner D7 G of the famous Melbourne Cup G There's a pause in all production G7 C for our minds are on the race D And it's time that all our worries D7 G are forgotton for a space
And the women cease their talking,
G7 C turn the radio well up D And with whippin' spur their waiting D7 G for the starting of the Cup C And the T. A. B. 's are crowded G as the punters rush and push A They've held a sweep in every pub A7 D in city and in bush G Then a mighty cheering follows G7 C as the barrier goes up D And there's a thousand jockey's spurring D7 G every racer in the cup. G The first Tuesday of November, G7 C every year it is the same D Every Aussie heart is beating D7 G with excitement of the game
For they bet on dream or fancy
G7 C or the forms they've followed up D From a dollar up to thousands D7 G on the famous Melbourne Cup G There are millions who have never G7 C even sat upon a horse D Whether it be yarding cattle D7 G or racing on the course
And it's doubtful if they'd even know
G7 C the way to saddle up D But they take a lot of beating D7 G when they're racing in the cup C Now the famous race is over for G another hopeful year A There's a lot of smiling faces A7 D and there's others shedding tears G There's a battler made a fortune, G7 C and a wealthy man hard-up D But win or lose they're waiting now D7 G for next year's Melbourne Cup
Oh that's right
G There's a bustle in the city, G7 C there's excitement in the scrubs D There's a drone of rowdy voices D7 G in every Aussie pub G There's a battler made a fortune, G7 C and a wealthy man hard-up D But win or lose they're waiting now D7 G for next year's Melbourne Cup
