Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Have you ever
been in the horrors,
D 
G 
the after effects of rum?
Sketching ducks on the kitchen wall
D 
G 
and feed the ducks with crumbs.
C 
I've seen emus in bikinis,
G 
the gaudiest ever made.
And brolgas in miniskirts
D 
G 
to lead them on parade.
I've seen the dead return to life,
D 
G 
I've seen their eyeballs glisten
C 
Put carbide in the methamate
G 
and drink it while it's fizzing
When the tremors overtake you
and you've got the ducks and drakes
And demons gather round you
D 
G 
and you're tangled up with snakes
I've heard jokers skitin'
D 
G 
about how they downed the slobs
But the strongest drink they ever had
D 
was brewed from molten hops
G 
C 
I've been in the horrors and darkness,
G 
I've been in the dings at dawn
Mowing flowers off the lino
D 
G 
and I thought I was mowing the lawn
Rum will only rot your boots
D 
G 
and clonk will do the same
But metho has a certain kick
D 
G 
that makes the mule seem tame
C 
You can travel every highway
G 
from the coast to Alice Springs
But, you've seen nothing
D 
G 
till you've been in the ding
I've seen the dead return to life,
D 
G 
I've seen their eyeballs glisten
C 
Put carbide in the metho, mate,
G 
and rig it while it's fizzin'
When the tremors overtake you
and you've got the ducks and drakes
And demons gather round you
D 
G 
and you're tangled up with snakes
