Australia Square - Bernard Bolan
          Am   Dmwalk down to                    Am  Am  
Every day I wend my way to the middle of Sydney town
To earn my screw and Dmdo my due for a Bmcompany of Erenown
I Amdo my chore on the 40th floor of a Dmbuilding round and tall
Am                                                              F
Up iEn the sky where the rents are high and we all do sweet damn all
Chorus:
AFlash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we go
ESailing in The Summit lift to the land of ice and snow
AUp past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know
EI earn my bread with Sydney spread 6D00 feet belAow
                           Am   Dmwalk down to Am  
On Amthe ground floor near the big lift door the crowds all huddle round
                                 Dm                        Bm
In our Ecastle in the air there's all creeds there, there's yellow, white and brown
The dAmoors gape wide, we trudge inside and Dmterror fills the air
AmThree, two, one, all hope is gone, tell mother I still FcareE  
AFlash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we go
ESailing in The Summit lift to the land of ice and snow
AUp past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know
EI earn my bread with Sydney spread 6D00 feet belAow
               Am   Dmwalk down to             Am  Am  
Chrysler, Wimpy, Esso and Clyde and Ord BT and Co
The names go past so Dmdevilish fast, we Bmmust be near the Esnow
At Amthirty three, which is Hitachi, Dmseventeen Japanese go
Am                                                                  F
And that Esilly little bugger from Colonial Sugar is standing on my toe
AFlash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we go
ESailing in The Summit lift to the land of ice and snow
AUp past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know
EI earn my bread with Sydney spread 6D00 feet belAow
                        Am   Dmwalk down to                  Am  Am  
It's strange the way that every day as we trace our heavenly track
The ones that want to Dmget out first are Bmalways at the Eback
So Ampush the button, mind the door, Dmstiffen up your knee
AmSorry miss, I meant to press number forty FthreeE

Australia Square - Bernard Bolan

Am Dm Am Am

walk down to

Every day I wend my way to the middle of Sydney town

Dm Bm E

To earn my screw and do my due for a company of renown

Am Dm

I do my chore on the 40th floor of a building round and tall

Am F

Up in the sky where the rents are high and we all do sweet damn all

Chorus:

Flash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we go

Sailing in The Summit lift to the land of ice and snow

Up past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know

E D A

I earn my bread with Sydney spread 600 feet below

Am Dm Am

walk down to

On the ground floor near the big lift door the crowds all huddle round

Dm Bm

In our castle in the air there's all creeds there, there's yellow, white and brown

Am Dm

The doors gape wide, we trudge inside and terror fills the air

Am F E

Three, two, one, all hope is gone, tell mother I still care

Flash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we go

Sailing in The Summit lift to the land of ice and snow

Up past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know

E D A

I earn my bread with Sydney spread 600 feet below

Am Dm Am Am

walk down to

Chrysler, Wimpy, Esso and Clyde and Ord BT and Co

Dm Bm E

The names go past so devilish fast, we must be near the snow

Am Dm

At thirty three, which is Hitachi, seventeen Japanese go

Am F

And that silly little bugger from Colonial Sugar is standing on my toe

Flash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we go

Sailing in The Summit lift to the land of ice and snow

Up past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know

E D A

I earn my bread with Sydney spread 600 feet below

Am Dm Am Am

walk down to

It's strange the way that every day as we trace our heavenly track

Dm Bm E

The ones that want to get out first are always at the back

Am Dm

So push the button, mind the door, stiffen up your knee

Am F E

Sorry miss, I meant to press number forty three
