_ _ [G] _ _ I'll play you something, this is the token happy song.
_ _ _ Last _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] time I was in Australia was about five years ago and it was, I went November time
for the whole November and half of [G] December and of course it was springtime down under
and when I [N] got there after leaving Slade Grain Manchester Airport Skies and pitching [G] up in
[G#m] Technicolour Melbourne, all the jacaranda blossom was out and I'd never [G] seen anything
like it, I was just so taken with this exquisite iridescent blue that was everywhere.
_ Anybody seen [N] jacaranda blossom?
_ I sensed a kind of semi _ -tumbleweed moment there [G] but_
One of you has seen it, ok great. _ _
Take it from me, it's fantastic.
_ Anyway, so this is a song in praise of jacaranda blossom.
Am I flogging it in or what's it? _
