Every day [D] I wend my way to the [Am] middle of Sydney town
To earn my screw [D] and do my due [B] for a company of [E] renown
[Am] I do my chore on the fortieth [Dm] floor of a building round and tall
[E] Up in the sky where the rents are high and we all do [F] sweet d'amour
[E]
[A] In flash goes the light and [D] ring goes the bell [A] and up in the air we [F#] go
Sailing in the summit [E] lift to the land of ice [G#] and snow
[A] Up past the [D] names that we've never [A] heard of the people we don't know
[F#] Iron me bread with Sydney spread [Bm] six hundred feet [A] below
[Am]
On the ground floor [D] near the big lift door the crowds all [Am] huddle round
In our castle in the air [D] there's all creeds [B] there, there's yellow, [E] white and brown
The [Am] doors gate wide, we trudge inside and [Dm] terror fills the air
[E] Three, two, one, all hope [B] is gone, tell mother I [F] still care
[A] In flash goes the [D] light and ring goes the [A] bell and up in the air we [F#] go
Sailing in the summit lift [E] to the land of ice and snow
[A] Up past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know
[F#] Iron me bread with Sydney spread [D] six hundred feet [A] below
[Am]
Chrysler, [D] Wimpy, Esso and [F#m] Clyde and old BT [Am] and Co
The names go [D] past so devilish [B] fast we must be near [E] the snow
[Am] At thirty-three which is high Tashi, [Dm] seventeen Japanese go
[F#] And that silly little bugger from Colonial Sugar is standing on [F] my toe
[E]
[A] In flash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we [F#] go
Sailing in the summit [E] lift to the land of ice and [F#] snow
[A] Up past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't [F#] know
Iron me bread with Sydney [Bm] spread six hundred [F#m] feet [Am] below
It's strange the way [D] that every day we [F#] trace our [Am] heavenly track
The ones who [D] want to get out first are always [E] at the back
So [Am] push the button, mind the door, [Dm] sit up your knee
[E] Sorry miss, I meant the press [Bm] number forty [F]-three
[E]
[A] In flash goes the light and [D] ring goes the bell [A] and up in the air we [F#] go
[E] Sailing in the summit lift to the land of ice and [G#] snow
[A] Up past the names that we've never heard of the people we [F#] don't know
Iron me bread [E] with Sydney spread [D] six hundred feet [F#] below
Iron me [E] bread with Sydney [D] spread six hundred [A] feet below
