[Intro]
C G
[Verse 1]
Well I'm Cover here in Sydney, Gliving on the Bondi CRoad
I'm working on the buildings, doing anything I'm Gtold
The Cwork is hard and the pay is good and the Fwomen all look Cfine
I'm drinking all I'm earning and Gnobody pays no Cmind
[Verse 2]
I Ccall the folks twice a week to let them Gknow how things are Cgoing.
Me da is always joking, "When you gonna send some money Ghome".
The Csister says she's coming out, when she Fhas her leavings Cdone.
My ma's always crying, "I'm just Gworried about you Cson".
[Chorus]
Ma, Flife is pretty Ggood in county CBondi
and I Fknow that I'll Gprobably come home Csomeday
But the Fsun is shining Gevery morn'
Ceven when it rains it's Fwarm
Life is pretty Ggood in county CBondi.
[Verse 3]
I came Cover after Christmas, when I Glost me job at Chome.
I went looking for another, but sure lads there was nothing Ggoing
Then CRoisin got let go as well and that Fkind of sealed our Cfate.
The day we got our visa's, to tell the Gtruth we couldn't Cwait.
[Verse 4]
So I Ccalled me cousin Danny, he's a Gbarman down in CCheers
and I asked him if he'd put us up and he said he would no Gfears
So we Ckissed our ma's and da's and as we Fheaded for the Cplane
last we seen of Ireland was the Gdriving, lashing Crain
[Chorus]
Ma, Flife is pretty Ggood in county CBondi
and I Fknow that I'll Gprobably come home Csomeday
But the Fsun is shining Gevery morn'
Ceven when it rains it's Fwarm
Life is pretty Ggood in county CBondi.
[Whistle Solo]
[Verse 5]
Ain't it Cfunny how you feel more irish when you Gleave the place Cbehind
You're on the other side of the world, but home is always on your Gmind
You're Clooking up your friends on facebook where you're Fwondering how the boys are Cplayin'
You'd stay in Scruffys 'till the sun comes up just to Gwatch The Sunday CGame
[Verse 6]
So I'm Cover here in Sydney and I'm Greally getting Con
There's so many here from home it's just like Ireland in the Gsun
I'm Cliving on the Bondi road and the Fliving here is Cgrand
Did I ever bloody think that I'd be Ghurling in the Csand
[Chorus]
Ma, Flife is pretty Ggood in county CBondi
and I Fknow that I'll Gprobably come home Csomeday
But the Fsun is shining Gevery morn'
Ceven when it rains it's Fwarm
Life is pretty Ggood in county CBondi.
