Q^Eantas flight ^F#m20, D^Aenpas^Bar M^Eeals and Acco^F#mm, and a r^Aent-a^B-car: I^E’ve been to B^F#mali, I^A’ve been to ^BBali too. Took a ^Etwo week c^F#mourse at a s^Auntan c^Blinic So l^Eying round L^F#megian, I w^Aouldn’t look a^Bnemic Y^Eou can’t i^F#mmpress me, ‘Cause I^A’ve been to ^BBali too.

[Chorus 1]

Got a ^Bride out to Kuta in the back of a truck, C^Eost me twenty dollars and it wasn’t worth a buck: H^Bustled to a losmen down Poppies Lane By a J^Aavanese guy in a tropical rainstorm, L^Aock up your daughters, I’ve been to B^Bali t^Eoo. ^F#m ^A ^B

[Verse 2]

L^Eife is ^F#mtragic h^Aanging out at ^BKuta If you h^Eaven’t got a ^F#mcar, A ^Abike or a ^Bscooter: S^Ehow me the ^F#mbike shop, ^AI’ve been to ^BBali too. G^Eot myself a^F#m Honda, had^A to get away,^B N^Eo brakes, b^F#mald tyres f^Aive-t^Bhousand r^Eupes a ^F#mday, I^A’ve been to ^BBali too.

[Chorus 2]

Well I^B don’t ride a bike much at home in Australia, A^Es a motorcycle hero, I guess I’m a failure: B^Bemos to the left, trucks to the right, The Ho^Anda was a wreck but I was alright: H^Aello Mercurachrome, I’ve been to B^Bali t^Eoo. ^F#m ^A ^B

[Instrumental] E F#m A B [Chorus 3]

Wired ^Bhome for money – short of cash, A^E dose of Bali belly and a tropical rash: D^Baddy came through – American express: B^Aali T-shirts, magic mushrooms, R^Aedgum bootlegs, I'v^Be been to Bali ^Etoo.

[Verse 3]

T^Eourists from ^F#mHolland, ^ABritain and ^BFrance, L^Eate night^F#m puppet shows, ^Alegong ^Bdance: W^Eanna see my s^F#mlides? I^A’ve been to ^BBali ^Etoo.^F#m ^A ^B

[Chorus 4]

W^Bandered off to Ubud, Just a little up the track, O^Ene week there didn’t want to come back: L^Bistening to Gamelon, playing guitar, T^Ajanderi’s Tacos, Hotel Menara, Two month visa, I’ve been to ^BBali ^Etoo.^F#m ^A ^B

(Key Change) [Verse 4]

F^F#lying kanga^G#mroo out of D^Benp^C#asar- L^F#eft me ^G#mcamera in the ^Bairport ^C#bar: I^F#’ve been to ^G#mBali, I^B’ve been to^C# Bali ^F#too.^G#m ^B ^C# T^F#ouch down, ^G#mtouch down ^BTulla^C#marine, They ^F#sprayed me on the ^G#mplane so I’d ^Bbe real ^C#clean C^F#oming through ^G#mcustoms, I^B’ve been to^C# Bali t^F#oo. ^G#m ^B ^C#

[Verse 5]

They ^F#went through my^G#m bags like, ^BMcCartney in ^C#Japan I d^F#idn’t have a ^G#mthing, So I ^Bdidn’t give a ^C#damn: Y^F#ou can’t ^G#mtrick me, ‘C^Bause I’ve been to^C# Bali too.
