Play like a waltz mod-fast...two strums for every pick
[Intro]
B E
E A E
From Townsville to Greenvale we're building a line
A E
Through the ranges and gorges to the great nickel mine
A
The long days are dusty and hotter than hell
B E
And that's why we all worship Three Rivers Hotel
E A E
It's Theiss Brothers camp on the banks of the Star
A E
Where men from all nations and walks of life are
A
And it's funny to listen to the stories they tell
B E
Every night round the bar in Three Rivers Hotel
E A E
We curse at the things that go wrong through the day
A E
And vow that we'll snatch it go far away
A
But when day is done and we're soon feeling well
B E
And laughter rings out from Three Rivers Hotel
E A E
There's Wesley the barman and young irish Joe
A E
Serving the booze and collecting the dough
A
What a stir they would cause if they ever should tell
B E
All the secrets they've learned in Three Rivers Hotel
E A E
On the night after pay day there's fun and romance
A E
It's a night for the families to sing and to dance
A
You can let down your hair and come out of your shell
B E
And do your own thing in Three Rivers Hotel
E A E
And if you listen to the bosses when the night's getting late
A E
On the progress they're making the best in the state
A
They'd be finished this line and this maintenance as well
B E
If they worked like they bragged in Three Rivers Hotel
E A E
And if you think you can drink we've got money to back
A E
On stayers like Cass and old grader Jack
A
And they tell me old Coster gives everyone hell
B E
When he gets on the booze in Three Rivers Hotel (Yeah he's a whopper)
E A E
When this job is finished we'll pack up and go
A E
To another construction still chasing big dough
A
But where ever I wander my memory will dwell
B E
On those happy days in Three Rivers Hotel
