Verse 1
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Once I had a silly notion
G G 
 
to out across the ocean
D D 
 
A A 
 
The future for me didn't look to bright
D D 
 
So I signed up with a tanker,
G G 
 
Got on board and raised the anchor
D D 
 
Stood and watched the Golden
A A 
 
D D 
 
Gate fade out of sight
Nineteen days and nights we
travelled
G G 
 
Through the stormy seas we battled
D D 
 
A A 
 
'Till we landed in Australia far away
D D 
 
Far from friends and San Francisco
G G 
 
And the Miss I thought I'll miss so
D D 
 
A A 
 
'Till I stepped ashore in Mel
D D 
 
bourne that first day

Verse 2
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
But I met Melba from Melbourne
D D 
 
she made my heart yearn
A A 
 
D D 
 
She made my tears flow like wine
G G 
 
She let me kiss her then
D D 
 
made me miss her
A A 
 
'Cause Melba could never be
D D 
 
mine

Verse 3
D D 
 
So in love but couldn't get her
G G 
 
Cared so much, couldn't forget het
D D 
 
I fell in love just a little bit
A A 
 
more and more
D D 
 
There I was just like I started
G G 
 
All alone and broken hearted
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
I recall the day I left Australia's shore
I was standing there and tryin'
G G 
 
So hard to keep from crying
D D 
 
The more I tried, the more my
A A 
 
tears would show
D D 
 
Then a cold breeze seem to whisper
G G 
 
"it's the end you better kiss her"
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
So I kissed her and I turned away to go
G G 
 
Then I left Melba from

Verse 4
Melbourne
D D 
 
She made my heart yearn
A A 
 
D D 
 
She made my tears flow like wine
G G 
 
She wouldn't leave there
D D 
 
I  couldn't stay there
A A 
 
D D 
 
So Melba could never be mine
