Start Jamming...
[E] [B] Sing up [E] now, singer.
In [Em] South [C#m] Australia I was born [E] Heave away [F#m] High
[A]
[E] In to South Australia
Around the Cape Horn
And were bound
For South [B] Australia
[E]
Heave away Holloway
And were bound
For South Australia
As I walked down to a mining stretch Heave away Holloway
Well I had a chance to meet with Nancy Blair
And were bound for South Australia Holloway
Heave away
Holloway Holloway
And hear me sing
And were [B] bound
For South [E] Australia
Well I shook her up
And I shook her down Heave away Holloway
Well I danced her all around the [B] town
Bound for South [Em] Australia Holloway
Women and kings [A] to me [Em] Heave away Holloway [E] Holloway
And you'll hear me sing
And were bound
For South Australia
Well there ain't one thing that leaves my mind Heave away Holloway
Is to leave sweet Nancy Blair behind
Bound for South Australia Oh holloway
Women and kings [A] [Em] Heave away Holloway
And [E] hear me sing
And were bound
For South Australia Holloway
Women and kings Heave away
Come on now
Holloway Holloway
And hear me [G#m] sing
And were [G] bound
For South [E] Australia
Well I wish I was on some lonesome strand Heave away Holloway
With rum and whiskey all in my hand
[G#m] Bound for South [E] Australia Holloway
Women and kings Heave away Holloway Holloway
And hear me sing
[G#m] And were bound
For South [Em] Australia
As we wound up around the Cape Horn to me Heave away
[E] Holloway
And when you wish to Christ that you never was born
Bound for South Australia [Em] Holloway
Women and kings Heave away [E] Holloway Holloway Holloway
And you'll hear me sing
And were bound
For South Australia
Two old ladies sleeping on the sand [Em] Heave away Holloway
Each [C#m] one wishing that the other [E] was a man
[B] Bound for South [F#]
[Em] Australia Holloway
Women and kings Heave away Holloway [Am] Holloway
[E] And hear me sing
And were bound
For South Australia Holloway
Women and kings Heave away Holloway
Holloway
And hear me sing
And were bound
For South Australia
In to South Australia
I [A] was born to [E] me Heave away Holloway
In to South Australia
Down the Cape Horn
Bound for South Australia Holloway
A rolling king Heave away Holloway
And hear me sing
And were bound
For South Australia Holloway
Women and kings Heave away Holloway
And you'll hear me sing And were
For South [Bm]
