From Saint Kilda

>From St. Kilda to King's Cross by Paul Kelly (from the "Post"

album). A beautiful song (but personally I prefer Brisbane :)).

Any comments, corrections or even thanks are welcome

>From St. Kilda to King's Cross is thirteen hours on a bus

G |Emin |C C/B

I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines

rushing past

C |D |Emin

And all around me felt like all inside me

|Amin |C |D |

And my body left me and my soul went running

G |Emin |C C/B Amin |

Have you ever seen king's Cross when the rain is falling soft

G |Emin |C C/B Amin |

I came in on the evening bus from Oxford Street I cut across

C |D |

And if the rain don't fall too hard

Emin |Amin |

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 |Emin G |

I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands

I want to see the sun go down from St. Kilda esplanade

G |Emin |C C/B Amin |

Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard

C |D

I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Emin |Amin |

All that land, all that water,

C |D |

for that one sweet promenade.

C |D

I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Emin |Amin |

All that land, all that water,

C |D |

for that one sweet promenade.
