[Verse 1]

A                   B
Little song about a man called Gough
      G                           D
And a little boy who wanted to be tarred with the same brush
A                         B                   G
He learnt Latin, held his head up high and he hated the
                 D
Liberals tho' he didn't know why

A           B         G                D
There were reasons - how long have you got?
A          B               G                  D
There are always reasons - how long have you got?

[Verse 2]

A                           B                          G                      D
The little boy he's on the stage tonight, his name is Anthony Hayes and he's doing alright
A                                 B                   G                     D
They both went to the same local Canberra school, but Stevie was nine in 1972

A       B            G               D
What a party - a big day for both of us
A     B                        G              D
A big reason to party - a big day for both of us

[Chorus]

A              B                          G               D
Come over have dinner with me, we'll play chess and drink claret
A                B                 G             D
Walk slowly down my little street, you can bring Margaret

      (Chess and drink claret)

[Verse]

A                B
November 11 was Armistice Day
      G                          D
A bushranger was slaughtered and Gough was betrayed
A                B                     G                   D
November 11 - he wouldn't survive the Governor General in '75

   A        B         G             D
November 11 - a big day for all of us
          A       B
I said November 11 - Ned Kelly died
G                      D
Shame Fraser shame and we all cried
     A         B         G
For you Gough you Gough you Gough
D
Edward Gough Whitlam
A         B         G
You Gough you Gough you Gough
D
Edward Gough Whitlam

[Chorus]

A              B                          G               D
Come over have dinner with me, we'll play chess and drink claret
A                B                 G             D
Walk slowly down my little street, you can bring Margaret (you can bring Margaret)
