Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 From Saint Kilda  to Kings Cross,  is thirteen hours  on a  bus.
 I press my face  against the glass  and watch the whitelines  rushing past.
 And all  around me felt  like all inside  me and my body  left me,  and
 my soul went running  on.
 (Same chord patterns here)
 Have you ever seen Kings Cross, when the rain is falling soft? I came in on the evening bus,
 from Oxford Street I cut across
 And if the rain don't fall too hard, and everyting shines like a postcard, everything goes on,
 just the same.
 Fair  weather friends are the hungriest  friends.
 I keep  my mouth well shut I cross  their open hands.
 (The same chord patterns for the last verse here aswell)
 I want to see the sun go down, from Saint Kilda Esplanade. Where the beach needs reconstruction, where
 the palm trees have it hard.
 (This is just the repeat of the middle section to finish)
 I'd give you all of Sydnet Harbour, all that land and all that water, all for one sweet promenade.
 Repeat and fade.
 That's basically it, the strumming pattern is just down down up up down up, like usual,
 and I hope that you like the song, and that someone else will tab some more of Paul Kelly's stuff!!
