D
G
D
A
D
Once I had a silly notion
G
to out across the ocean
D
A
The future for me didn't look to bright
D
So I signed up with a tanker,
G
Got on board and raised the anchor
D
Stood and watched the Golden
A
D
Gate fade out of sight
Nineteen days and nights we
travelled
G
Through the stormy seas we battled
D
A
'Till we landed in Australia far away
D
Far from friends and San Francisco
G
And the Miss I thought I'll miss so
D
A
'Till I stepped ashore in Mel
D
bourne that first day
Verse 2
G
D
G
But I met Melba from Melbourne
D
she made my heart yearn
A
D
She made my tears flow like wine
G
She let me kiss her then
D
made me miss her
A
'Cause Melba could never be
D
mine

D
So in love but couldn't get her

Cared so much, couldn't forget het

I fell in love just a little bit

There I was just like I started

All alone and broken hearted

A
D
I recall the day I left Australia's shore
I was standing there and tryin'
G
So hard to keep from crying
D
The more I tried, the more my
A
tears would show
D
Then a cold breeze seem to whisper
G
"it's the end you better kiss her"
D
A
D
So I kissed her and I turned away to go
G
Then I left Melba from
