[Verse 1]
[A]Lif[D]e in Port Augusta,[G]
things don't [D]change
Life in Port Au[G]gusta, remains [D]the same
The world goes [A]by and the
world gets [G]strange
Except in [A]Port Au[D]gusta

[Verse 2]
[D]Road trains rollin' through the night
[G]to anywhere
[D]Headin' north to Alice or
[A]west out on the Eyre
[D]People they keep passin'
[G]by just like the time
[D]Sydney Melbourne Adelaide,
[A]Perth on down [G]the line
Way [A]down [D]the line

[Verse 3]
[D]Life in Port Au[G]gusta,
things don't [D]change
Life in Port Au[G]gusta, remains [D]the same
The world goes [A]by,
and the world gets [G]strange
Except in [A]Port Au[D]gusta

[Verse 4]
Out there on [D]the bypass doin'
[G]business night and day
[D]Fast food multi nationals sellin'
[A]plastic take away
While the [D]shops in town
are closin' down
[G]Dried up dreams on stony ground
You [D]wonder why it always seems
[A]to end up this [G]way
[A]Same old [D]way

[Verse 5]
[A]Nobody seems to question
or [G]even wonder [D]why
[A]Some towns get forgotten
and [G]left alone [D]to die
While [Bm]out there on the h[A]ighway faded s[G]igns
Of [Bm]glory days and [A]memories in [G]time
Port [A]Au gusta [D]time

[Verse 6]
And the [A]older generation
in si[G]lence fade [D]away
[A]No work for the younger folk
no [G]reason left [D]to stay
And [Bm]out there on the
[A]highway there's [G]a sign
[Bm]Find a better fu[A]ture down the [G]line
Way [A]down the [D]line

[Verse 7]
[D]Life in Port Au[G]gusta,
things don't [D]change
Life in Port Au[G]gusta, remains [D]the same
The world goes [A]by and the
world gets [G]strange
Except in [A]Port Au[D]gusta
