Three Rivers Hotel chords and lyrics - SLIM DUSTY

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[A]Fro[D]m Townsville to Green[A]
vale we're [G]building [D]a line
Through the ranges and gorges
to the [G]great nickel [D]mine
The long days are dusty and
[G]hotter than hell
And that's [A]why we all worship
Three Rivers [D]Hotel

[Verse 2]
[D]
It's Thiess Brothers camp on
[G]the banks of [D]the Star
Where men from all nations
and [G]walks of life [D]are
And it's funny to listen
to the [G]stories they tell
Every [A]night 'round the bar in
Three Rivers Hotel
[D]

[Verse 3]
We curse at the things that [G]go
wrong through [D]the day
And vow that we'll snatch it, [G]go far [D]away
But when day is done and
[G]we're soon feeling well
And [A]laughter rings out from
Three Rivers [D]Hotel

[Verse 4]
[D]
There's Wesley the barman
and [G]young Irish [D]Joe
Serving the booze and col
[G]lecting the [D]dough
What a stir they would cause
if they [G]ever should tell
All [A]the secrets they've learned

[Interlude 1]
in Three Rivers Hotel
[D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
On the night after [D]payday
[A]there's [G]fun and ro[D]mance
It's a night for the fam'lies
[G]to sing and to [D]dance
You can let down your hair and
come [G]out of your shell
And [A]do your own thing in
Three Rivers Hotel
[D]

[Verse 6]
And if you listen to the bosses when
the [G]night's gettin' [D]late
On the progress they're makin'
the be[G]st in [D]the state
They'd be finished this line
and [G]this maint'nance as well
If [A]they worked like they bragged
in Three Rivers [D]Hotel
[A][D]

[Verse 7]
And if you think you can drink we've
got [G]money to [D]back
On stayers like Cass and
[G]old grader [D]Jack
And they tell me old Custer
gives [G]everyone hell
When he [A]gets on the booze
in three Rivers [D]Hotel
Yeah, he's a whopper

[Verse 8]
When this job is [D]finished we'll
[G]pack up and [D]go
To another construction still
[G]chasing big [D]dough
But wherever I wander
my [G]memory will dwell
On [A]those happy days [D]in[G][D][G][D][G]
[A]Three Rivers Hot[D]el

[Outro 1]
