verse 2
About the lonFmg forgotten docDbkside guarenteAbes Absus4 Ab Eb/G
How there were Fmno V-dEbay hDberoes in nineEb/Gteen seFmventy tEbhree
How we saFmiled into Sydney HarDbbour
saw an oAbld friend but I couldn't kDbiss her
She was linedBbm, and I was hEbome to the lucky laAbnd Db Ab Eb/G
verse 3:
And she was liFmke so many mDbore from that time Abon Absus4 Ab Eb/G
Fm Eb Db Eb Fm/Bb Eb Edim
Their lives were all so empty, till they'd found their chosen one
And their leFmgs were often opDben
but their mAbinds were always clDbosed

And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
verse 4:
And the lFmegal pads were yeDbllow, hours lAbong, paypAbsus4ackets lAbean Eb/G
Fm Db Eb Fm/Bb Eb Edim
And the telex writers clattered were the gunships once had been
But the cFmar parks made me jDbumpy
And it nAbever stopped the drDbeams
or the grBbmowing need for spEbeed and novacAbaine Db Ab
verse 5:
So I wFmorked across the coDbuntry eAbnd Absus4to end Ab Eb/G
Fm Db Eb Fm/Bb Eb Edim
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
Held a Fmjob on an oilDb-rig
flying choAbppers when I coDbuld

But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
verse 6:
And I've trFmavelled round the woDbrld from year to yAbear Absus4 Ab Eb/G
Fm Db Eb Fm/Bb Eb
And each one's found me aimless, one more year the worse for wear
And i'Edimve been bFmack to South East ADbsia
but the aAbnswer sure aint thDbere
But I'm drBbmifting North to cEbheck things ouit agAbainDb Ab

You know the lFmast plane out of SDbydney's almost gAbone Absus4 Ab Eb/G
Fm Db Eb Fm/Bb Eb
Only seven flying hours and i'll be landing in Hong Kong
TheEdimre aint noFmthin like the kiDbsses
From a jAbaded Chinese PrDbincess

I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong matress all night long
verse 8:
Well know the lFmast plane out of SDbydney's almost gAbone Absus4 Ab Eb/G

And the laBbmst plane out of SEbydney's almost gAbone Eb/G
WFmell know the last Dbplane out of SydAbney'sAbsus4 almost AbgonEb/Ge
Fm Db Eb Fm/Bb EB
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

And the laBbmst plane out of SEbydney's almost gAbone Db Ab Db Ab
This also sounds great just on piano, top song.
