[E] construction camp at a big wet canteen at [C] this construction camp on [Gb] the Greenvale [A] line
[C] and it was at the junction of three rivers and eventually some evening star [Gb] some we all [Gm] know

so we'll tell you all about it hey
[B] [Abm]
[E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] oh
and [B] that's why we all worship three [E] rivers hotel
[Eb] [E] it's these brothers camp on the banks of the star
Where men from all nations and walks of life are
And funny to listen to the stories they tell
[B] Every night round the bar [E] in Three Rivers Hotel
We curse at the things that [A] go wrong through the [E] day
And vow that we'll snatch it, [A] go [E] far away
But when day is done [A] and we're soon feeling [B] well
And laughter rings out from Three Rivers [E] Hotel
There's Wesley the [A] barman and young [E] Irish Joe
Serving the booze and [A] [E] collecting the dough
What a stare they would [A] cause if they ever should [B] tell
All the secrets they've learned in Three Rivers [E] Hotel Hey!
[B]
[Abm] [E] On the night after payday [A] there's fun [E] and romance
It's a night for the [A] families to sing [E] and to dance
And you can let down your hair [A] and come out of your shell
[B] And do your own thing in Three Rivers [E] Hotel
All drunk together
From Townsville to Greenville [A] we're [E] building a line
Through the ranges and gorges to the great nickel mine
The long days are [A] dusty and hotter [E] than hell
[B] And that's why we all worship Three Rivers [E] Hotel Hey!
[B]
[E] Now if you think you can drink we've [A] got [E] money to back
On stay is like Cass, an old grader Jack
And they tell me young Stuart here [A] gives everyone [E] hell
[B] When he gets on the booze in Three Rivers [E] Hotel Yeah!
So when this job is finished we'll pack up and go
To another [B] [A] construction still chasing [E] big dough
But forever I wonder [A] my memory will dwell
[B] On those happy days in Three Rivers [E] Hotel
Here we go again
From Townsville to Greenville we're building a line
Through the ranges and [A] gorges to the great [E] nickel mine
The long days are dusty [A] and hotter [E] than hell
[B] And that's why we all worship Three [Abm] Rivers [E] Hotel
One more time
