Careless Chords by Paul Kelly

_ _ _ _ _ on guitar, the only Queenslander in the band.
This is Dan Kelly. _ _
_ _ _ Dan, apart from playing guitar on this next song,
has got a very special part.
It's a very high part he's going to sing, start off the song.
And according to recent studies,
_ only about 3% of all males over the age of 21 can sing this high.
_ That's in the southern hemisphere. _ _ _ _ _
And [G] most nights he gets it, Dan, he does.
And we wish him luck tonight. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Talking about it before,
we went on and he said he's going to do it for the Cowboys.

[G] How many [D] notes in the saxophone?
[Am] [C] How many cheers in a bottle of [G] gin?
How many [D] times did you call my [C] name?
Knock at the door, but you [G] couldn't get in. _
_ _ _ [C] I [G] know _ I've been _ [C] careless.
[G] I've been [D] wrapped up in a [C] shell.
Nothing could get through to [G] me.
Acting [D] like I didn't [C] know I had friends and family.
[G] I saw [D] worry in their [Am] eyes, but it [C] didn't look like [G] fear to me.
