[Ab] [B] [Abm] [E]
From Townsville to [A] Greenvale we're building [E] a line
Through the ranges and [A] gorges to the great [E] nickel mine
The long days are dusty [A] and hotter than hell
[B] And that's why we all worship Three Rivers [E] Hotel
It's Thief's Brothers' camp [A] on the banks of the [E] Star
Where men from all nations [A] and walks [E] of life are
And it's funny to listen to the [A] stories they tell
Every [B] night round the bar in Three Rivers [E]
Hotel
We curse at the things [A] that go wrong through [E] the day
And vow that we'll snatch it, [A] though [E] far away
But when day is done and [A] we're soon feeling [Bb] well
[B] And laughter rings out from Three [E] Rivers Hotel
There's Wesley the [A] barman and young [E] Irish Joe
Serving the [A] booze and collecting [E] the dough
What a stir they would cause [A] if they ever should tell
[B] All the secrets they've learned in Three Rivers [E] Hotel
[B] On [E]
the night after payday [A] there's pun [E] and romance
It's a night for the [A] families to sing and [E] to dance
You can let down your hair [A] and come out of your shell
[Abm] And do your own thing [B] in Three Rivers [E] Hotel
And if you listen to the bosses [A] when the [E] night's getting late
On the progress they're [A] making, the best [E] in the state
They'd finish this line [A] and this maintenance as well
[B] If they worked like they bragged in Three [E] Rivers Hotel
[B] And [E]
if you think you can drink, [A] we've got money [E] to back
On stay is like Cass, [A] an old [E] grader Jack
And they tell me old Costa [A] gives everyone hell
When [B] he gets on the booze in Three [E] Rivers Hotel
Yeah, he's a whopper
For when this job is [A] finished we'll pack [E] up and go
To another construction [A] still chasing [E] big dough
But wherever I wander [A] my memory will dwell
[B] On those happy days in Three Rivers [E]
Hotel
Let's sing together now
From Townsville to [A] Greenville we're building [E] a line
Through the ranges and gorges [A] to the [E] great nickel mine
The long days are dusty [A] and hotter than hell
And [B] that's why we all worship Three [E] Rivers Hotel
Yeah, come on Costa
From Townsville to Greenville [A] we're [E] building a line
Through the ranges and [A] gorges to the great [E] nickel mine
The long days are dusty [A] and hotter than hell
