[/tab]\r\n      \r\n[tab]      [ch]G9[/ch]\r\nAnd when you rode the Glenelg tram,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G9[/ch]\r\nIt used to shake as it moved over,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nUnmarked graves.  [/tab]\r\n      \r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBut I just think,  [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt's bad workmanship.  [/tab]\r\n      \r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWe're smoothing out the problems,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAs we go in Adelaide.  [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThe ones that we can't solve,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nThen we're just burying.  [/tab]\r\n      \r\n[tab]       [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nIf the city is like beef jerky,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAs everyone always says.  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThen we've added some salt,  [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd we've...  [/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch](throughout spoken part)\r\nGuess we've, sort of, levelled it out...  [/tab]\r\nYeah...  \r\nOh, no, no, no, we've taken out salt.  \r\nWhy?  \r\n'Cause beef jerky is salty.  \r\nQuite salty.  \r\nOh, okay.  \r\nDon't know why you'd want to have more salt.  \r\nIt's a weird metaphor, that one.  \r\nYeah.  \r\nYeah, it's a strange one.  \r\n      \r\n[tab]      [ch]G9[/ch]\r\nEverybody used to say,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G9[/ch]\r\nThat the old Van Morrison ad was better,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nBut I never felt that way.  [/tab]\r\n      \r\n[tab]      [ch]G9[/ch]\r\nI prefer my tourist dollars,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G9[/ch]\r\nTo go towards some imitation,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nSession guy.  [/tab]\r\n      \r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nDoing a rip-off,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]A[/ch]\r\nOf a good song.  [/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch](throughout spoken part)\r\nI hate that!  [/tab]\r\nI know, it's just cheap, isn't it?  \r\nTerrible!  \r\nAbsolutely! And then I like when they change the melody just \r\nenough so it's, like, a different song, but you know what \r\nthey're basically trying to rip off.  \r\nYeah, exactly.  \r\nThey should just write their own bloody song.  \r\nYeah, I so agree.  \r\n      \r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWe're smoothing out the problems,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAs we go in Adelaide.  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWe're scaling down the boringness,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nIn an understated way.

[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThen we've added a few more raisins,  [/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd we've...  [/tab]\r\n      \r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch](throughout spoken part)\r\nPut in... nutmeg...  [/tab]\r\nNutmeg!  \r\nYeah, nutmeg!  \r\nD'you put in nutmeg, in bread pudding?  \r\nAbsolutely.  \r\nReally?  \r\n'Cause it's a spicy kind of dessert.  \r\nRight.  \r\nYeah.  \r\nBut not in a savoury way, like, it's not a chilly sort of...  \r\nNo, no. It's just aromatic.  \r\nI've never understood that metaphor - a city like bread pudding.  \r\n      \r\n[tab]  [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\n(Robotic) Adelaide is still shit,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nAdelaide is still shit.  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAdelaide is still shit,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nPerth is much worse though.

[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWe've knocked down Magic Mountain,  [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd put flats up.
