Adelaides Ok

[G9] = 353435

Everyb[G9]ody used to say,
That A[G9]delaide was kind of scary,
But [G]I never felt that way.

And wh[G9]en you rode the Glenelg tram,
It use[G9]d to shake as it moved over,
[G]Unmarked graves.

But [D]I just think,
I[A]t's bad workmanship.

We're [G]smoothing out the problems,
As we [D]go in Adelaide.
The [G]ones that we can't solve,
[D]Then we're just burying.

If the [Bm]city is like beef jerky,
As [Em]everyone always says.
Then w[G]e've added some salt,
A[A]nd we've...

[A]Guess we've, sort of, levelled it out...
Yeah...
Oh, no, no, no, we've taken out salt.
Why?
'Cause beef jerky is salty.
Quite salty.
Oh, okay.
Don't know why you'd want to have more salt.
It's a weird metaphor, that one.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a strange one.

Everyb[G9]ody used to say,
That t[G9]he old Van Morrison ad was better,
But [G]I never felt that way.

I pref[G9]er my tourist dollars,
To go [G9]towards some imitation,
[G]Session guy.

[D]Doing a rip-off,
Of a [A]good song.

[A]I hate that!
I know, it's just cheap, isn't it?
Terrible!
Absolutely! And then I like when they change the melody just
enough so it's, like, a different song, but you know what
they're basically trying to rip off.
Yeah, exactly.
They should just write their own bloody song.
Yeah, I so agree.

We're [G]smoothing out the problems,
As we [D]go in Adelaide.
We're [G]scaling down the boringness,
In an [D]understated way.

If the [Bm]city was like bread pudding,
As [Em]everyone always says.
The[G]n we've added a few more raisins,
An[A]d we've...

[A]Put in... nutmeg...
Nutmeg!
Yeah, nutmeg!
D'you put in nutmeg, in bread pudding?
Absolutely.
Really?
'Cause it's a spicy kind of dessert.
Right.
Yeah.
But not in a savoury way, like, it's not a chilly sort of...
No, no. It's just aromatic.
I've never understood that metaphor - a city like bread pudding.

(R[Bm]obotic) Adelaide is still shit,
[D]Adelaide is still shit.
[Em]Adelaide is still shit,
[G]Perth is much worse though.

We're [G]smoothing out the problems,
As we [D]go in Adelaide.
We've [G]knocked down Magic Mountain,
[D]And put flats up.

Good on ya.

If the [Bm]city is like Bob Hope,
As [Em]everyone always said.

Well, [G]let's not use that metaphor,
'Cause [A]that guy's dead.

([G]   [D]) (You get the idea)
We're smoothing out the problems...

End on D
