D A
He came in from Melbourne on a Pioneer
G A
Adelaide morning, warm and clear
D A G
And a past that wasn't quite within the law
D A
And he opened yet another ten dollar room
G A
To a broken blind and a rising gloom
D A G
And a threadbare cotton carpet on the floor
D A
And the muzak piping through the corridor
G A
Played that song he heard before
D G A
It went, who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
D A
A suitcase held with rope and twine
G A
Cleaner's shirt and an open mind
D G A
A trail of debts to mark where he had been
D A
A million miles of racetracks
G A
And torn tickets on the ground
D G A
And his only son cut down in Phnom Penh green
D A
A police car crawled down Gouger street
G A
As he looked for some place cheap to eat
D G A
It was just another curbside interview
D A
With a warrant out in Adelaide
G A
For a bad decision that he once made
D G A
An instinct took his tongue and pulled him through
