[Intro 1]
[G][E][G][E][Esus4][E]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I [E]pulled
up after thirty and I was [G]driving
[E]I'd come up the
Darling
River looking for [G]work
[E]Just another bit of sad histor[G]y
That ends [D]up on [C]the streets of
[G]Berwick
[E]I ran into old
Bill and he [G]told me
[E]Young people don't respect
their elders any[G]more
[E]It's hard to sleep or get any[G] peace
I never used to [D]have to [C]lock my [G]door
[D]Best and [C]worst little town in [G]the world[C]
[D]You know [C]work, you'll know
Aus[G]tralia
[D]You can do good her[C]e,
you'll do it any[G]where[E][Esus4][E][G][E]
Some kid is bragging about the [G]dope
[E]You can't see round his neck,
[G]there's already
[E]And a gang of kids steal a lady's purse
[G]Just one nig[D]ht on the[C] streets of
[G]Berk
[Bm]Well, it's no point blaming anyone,
for in the [A]end we're all at fault.
[G]Out on the streets of
Burke [D]tonight,
it's too [C]late to call it a [G]haunt.[C][D][C][G]
[D]If you know [C]work, you'll know
Aus[G]tralia
[D]If you can do [C]good here,
you'll do it [G]any[E]where
[Esus4]Oh yeah
[G]Oh[Esus4][E][Esus4][G]
[E]All the old bush poet[Esus4]s
[E]Tramped the out[G]back
[E]On lonely tracks
They found [G]their way
This [E]is as good a place as any
To lay my [G]head
I could set myself
[D]Up [C]here
In [G]bed
[E]For the
Ngiyampa,
Muriwuri and
[G]Bakunji [E]peoples
It's from you I'd like to [G]know
[E]I hope you keep your secret
safe in the back [G]country
And may [D]we meet in [C]peace in
[G]Bud[C]
[D]The best and [C]worst little town
[G]in the world[C][G]
[D]You know [C]work, you know
Aus[G]tralia
[D]You can do [C]good here,
you can do it [G]anywhere[E]
Oh [G]yeah[E]
[G]Yeah[D][C]
You
