[Verso 1]

E                        A
  At two fish creek they come to meet
E                            A      B
  Weathered and edged by the summer heat
                           B
The sun is always in their eyes
                        G#m      E
They hold their glasses like a prize

[Verso 2]

E                        A
  On a clouded fair and gin they dine
E                       A        B
  They're always losing track of time
                      B
A swampy mangrove paradise
                 G#m          E
They import everything that's nice

[Verso 3]

E                   A
  Comfort is a word rarely heard
E                A         B
  Wages are transient they look
                   B
For opportunity to grow
                      G#m   E
The better times they never show

E     F#m          B
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh
E     F#m          B
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh

E                          A
  By now their dreams have all been dreamt
E                    A         B
  All of their money has been spent
                           B
The crashing surf upon the ground
                G#m     E
And no one ever hears a sound

[Verso 5]

E                A
  A life of middling at best
E                       A    B
  Put that pro-touch-up to a rest
                            B
Was it a choice they do not know
                      G#m   E
The better times they never show

E     F#m          B
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh
E     F#m          B
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Paradise is all around
    B
But happiness is never found
E           F#m
Paradise is all around
    B
But happiness is never found

E     F#m          B
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh
E     F#m          B
  Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh
