Verse 1
(A major) (D major) From Townsville to (A major) Green
vale we're (G major) building a line (D major)
Through the ranges and gorges

The long days are dusty and
(G major) hotter than hell
And that's (A major) why we all worship
Three Rivers Hotel (D major)
Verse 2
(D major)
It's Thiess Brothers camp on
the bank (G major) s of the Star (D major)
Where men from all nations
and (G major) walks of life (D major) are
And it's funny to listen
to the (G major) stories they tell
Every night (A major) 'round the bar in
Three Rivers Hotel

We curse at the things that (G major) go
wrong through the day (D major)

And (A major) laughter rings out from
Three Rivers Hotel (D major)

(D major)
There's Wesley the barman
and (G major) young Irish (D major) Joe

All the secrets (A major) they've learned

On the night after payday (D major)
(A major) there's (G major) fun and romance (D major)
It's a night for the fam'lies

You can let down your hair and

And (A major) do your own thing in
Three Rivers Hotel
(D major)
Verse 6
And if you listen to the bosses when
the (G major) night's gettin' (D major) late
On the progress they're makin'

And if you think you can drink we've
got (G major) money to (D major) back
On stayers like Cass and

When he (A major) gets on the booze
in three Rivers Hotel (D major)
Yeah, he's a whopper
Verse 8
When this job is (D major) finished we'll
(G major) pack up and (D major) go
To another construction still

But wherever I wander

On (A major) those happy days in (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) Three Rivers Hotel (D major)
