Key: D major•
Verse 1
G
D
we're building a line
Through the ranges and gorges
G
D
to the great nickel mine
The long days are dusty and
Let's please brothers camp
G
D
on the edge of the star
We're men from all nations,
G
D
hawks of life are
And it's funny to listen
D
G
A
Every night round the bar
We curse at the things
G
D
that go wrong through the day
And vow that we'll snatch it
G
D
and go far away
But when day is done
G
D
and we're soon feeling well
G
A
And laughter rings out
A
D
There's Wesley the barman
G
D
and young Irish Joe
Serving the booze and
G
D
collecting the dough
What a stir they would cause
G
D
if they ever should tell
G
D
A
All the secrets they've learned
D
A
D
at Three Rivers Hotel
On the night after payday
G
D
there's fun and romance
It's a night for the families
G
D
to sing and to dance
You can let down your hair
G
D
and come out of your shell
If you listen to the bosses
G
D
when the night's getting late
G
D
the best in the state
They'd be finished this line
D
A
D
E
in Three Rivers Hotel
And if you think you can drink,
A
E
B
we've got money to back
A
E
Old Greater Jack
And they tell me old Pasta
When this job is finished
A
E
we'll pack up and go
To another construction
A
E
still chasing big dough
But wherever I wander,
From Townsville to Greenvale
A
E
we're building a line
Through the ranges and gorges
A
E
to the great nickel mine
Long days are dusty and
Three Rivers Hotel
