Redgum - Carrington cabaret

Are you pr^Doud white Australians wh^F#merever you are? ^DBeer in your hand and your e^Albow on the bar ^DAll you people from ^F#mDarwin to the south With your b^Glue faded jeans and a j^Aoint in your mouth

Yo^Dung sophisticates ^F#mmaking the scene At the Li^Gon Hotel in your r^Aolled up jeans ^DSomething going on, we're ^F#mall employed L^Gast night another picki^Aninny died

In the di^Drt filled gutters on the c^F#mold concrete At the n^Gightclub end of H^Aindley Street Sit d^Dusky young ladies le^F#marning the rules From d^Grunks and traps and the h^Aard knocks school

^DMilky brown eyes from d^F#mrinking all day Till it's t^Gime at the Carrington Cab^Aaret ^DDown at the port a s^F#mick black mum ^GRings for a taxi but the t^Aaxi won't come

^BmIt's probably too painful for ^F#mus to understand But t^Gwo hundred ye^Aars ago we ove^Drran their la^And ^DDreamtime's just a ni^Aghtmare n^Bmow, an alc^F#moholic sleep Au^Gstralia land of th^Aings to do have y^Gou got time to w^Aeep ^{D A D A D A}

Oh our g^Dreat free land of f^F#mire and rain W^Ghite man's wealth and bl^Aack man's pain You've ^Dgot to be white if you w^F#mant to get in It's the bl^Gack man's country but the w^Ahite man's in

Too ut^Dter distasteful for civi^F#mlized man ^GHide them away in Arnh^Aem Land ^DShake your head and s^F#may "That's that" As you k^Gick away the bottles on P^Ainky flat

^BmIt's probably too painful for ^F#mus to understand But t^Gwo hundred ye^Aars ago we ove^Drran their la^And ^BmDreamtime's just a nig^Ahtmare n^Bmow, an alc^F#moholic sleep Au^Gstralia land of th^Aings to do have y^Gou got time to w^Aeep
