Вступление
[Intro]
E B7 E
[Verse]
E B7
Snowy Jackson was a ringer from the outback settlement
E
How could he know we changed over to the dollar and the cent?
A E
It was fifteen months or over since money he had spent
B7 E
So, we thought its time he headed where his elbow could be bent.
[Interlude]
A A7 D
He was bent alright. He really got himself twisted.
[Verse]
D A7
Now the pub looked real inviting as the town came into view
D
It had seen a lot of fighting since the days when it was new
G D
Snowy hoped those days were over he was a now a peaceful bloke
A7 D
All he wanted was to drink with mates and to have a quiet smoke.
[Interlude]
E B7 E
But things never turned out that way.
[Verse]
E B7
When the barmaid said a dollar, for a round of sparkling beer
E
He thought she was mistaken, or she must be going queer
A E
Thinking five bob was a dollar and her adding rather strange
B7 E
He handed her the money and said, "honey, keep the change."
[Interlude]
A A7 D
Keep the change, this is where the situation changed.
[Verse]
D A7
She grabbed by the collar and said "now come on son,
D
You heard me say a dollar now I've got no time for your fun"
G D
The bouncer came at Snowy, and he landed in a pile
A7 D
It sort of came from nowhere and it sort of cramped his style.
[Interlude]
E B7 E
He was now a mangled mass.
[Verse]
E B7
The barmaid must be crazy, and the bouncer must be mad
E
he reckoned that the trouncing was the worst he'd ever had
A E
He picked himself up later just to make his way back home
B7 E
He said at least that’s one place where I'm safe and I'm alone.
[Interlude]
A A7 D
Ah well, here’s the payoff.
[Verse]
D A7
Before he trudged on homeward, a notice caught his eye
D
what it had to say would be enough to make a ringer cry
G D
It was written in plain English he though well here’s the rub
A7 D
I didn't know that I'd been inside a decimal currency pub.
[Verse]
D G
Now the old days are gone with the pounds and the pence
A7 D
We now shout for mates with dollars and cents
G
But we fondly recall, the old days round here
A7 N.C. D G D
When we lined up together at the pub with no beer.
