[E] I've been to Bali, I've been to Bali [D] too.
[G]
Took a two week course [Em] at a suntan clinic.
[D] So lying round leggy and I wouldn't look anemic.
[E] And you can't impress [G] me, cause I've been to [D] Bali too.
[A] Got to ride out the cougar in the back of the truck.
[D] It cost me twenty dollars and it wasn't worth a [A] buck.
I some do along the down top east lane.
[G] By a Javanese guy in a tropical rainstorm.
Lock up your daughters, those be the [D] buddies.
[G] [D] [Em] Life is tragic, hanging out a [D] cougar.
If you haven't got a [Bm] car, a bike or a scooter.
[D] [G] Show me the bike shop, I've been to [D] Bali too.
[G] [D] [Em] Stopped my silver Honda, had to get [D] away.
No brakes, [Em] bolt ties, five [D] thousand routes a day.
I've been to Bali too.
[A] Well I don't ride a bike, no time in [D] Australia.
As a motorcycle hero, guess I'm a [A] failure.
MMOs to the left, trucks to the [G] right.
The Honda was a wreck, but I was alright.

[G] [D] [Em] [D]
[Em] [D] [G] [D]
[A] Why do I have money, short of [D] cash?
Dose of Bali belly and a tropical [A] rash.
Daddy came through, American [G] Express.
Bali t-shirt, magic mushrooms, red gum bootleg, I've been [D] to Bali too.
[G] [D] [G] [D] A bag [Em] of mozzie cause the belly a [D] tumble.
There where [Bm] my Bali trip really [D] began.
Been there, [G] done that, I've been [D] to Bali too.
[G] [D] Tourist [Em] from Holland, Britain and [B] France.
Late night, up the shows, leg on dance.
Wanna see my [G] slides, I've been [A] to Bali too.
[D] Well [A] I wanted off the hook or just a little up the track.
[D] One week there, didn't wanna [A] come back.
Listening to gamelan playing guitar.
[G] Jandri's, Tacos, Hotel Manara, too much visa.
I've been [D] to Bali.
[G] [D] [G]
[E] [A] [C#m]
[F#m] [E] Flying [F#] kangaroo out of [C#m] Denpasar.
Left me camera in the airport [E] car.
I've been [F#] to Bali, I've been [B] to Bali too.
[A] [C#m] [F#] Touchdown, touchdown, [G#] Tullamaree.
Sprayed me [C#] on the plane so I'd be real clean.
Coming [F#] through customs, I've been [B] to Bali too.
[F#m] [B] Went through [F#] my bags like McCartney [E] in Japan.
I didn't have a thing so I didn't give a damn.
You [A] can't trick me, cos I've [E] been to Bali too.
[A] [E] You've been [F#m] to Paris and you've been [G#] to Boston.
You've [F#] been to Fiji and you've been [B] to London.
But you [A] can't impress me, cos I've [E] been to Bali too.
