In [G] [Em] Adelaide, [D] Adelaide, [G]
[Em] [D] Adelaide
[G] Dad's hand used to [Em] shake, but I never knew [D] he was dying
I [G] was scratching, [Em] I never [D] dreamed it before
[G] And all the great [Em] arms are ready, me [D] eyes are crying
I [G] rang the [Em] bells, I never felt [D] nothing at all
[C] All the [D] king's horses, [D] [C] all the [Bm] king's men

Find me a [Em] ball, I'll go on the [D] cob
Now, where do you go on a Saturday [G] night?
I own some [Em] town, I spilled my [D] wine
At the bottom of a statue of [G] Canallite
And the streets are so [Em] wide, everybody's [D] inside
Sitting in the same chairs that we were sitting in [G] last year.
[Em] [D] This is my town.
[C] All the king's horses, [D] [C] all the [D] king's men, [D]
[C] wouldn't [Bm] drag [Am] me [Bm] back [D] again.
