G         D                C
      
            G                D                 C 
(Well) it's one more boring Thursday night in Adelaide
       G               D              C 
And it looks like everybody must have died
G              D                  C 
There's no one on the streets and nothing on T.V.
       G                     D          C 
Well I think I'll go and burn my tv guide

G                D                  C 
Doesn't Ernie Sigley bring you down ?
G                     D                 C 
Don't you think Mike Willesee's a clown ?

G                   D                     C
I think I'd like to go and hear some rock'n'roll music played
G                 D                      C
So I'll check the amusement pages of the paper

G                      D                   C
Reggae bands doing one night stands at the Lion Hotel and Arkaba
G                       D                        C
And the girl at the bar thinks I'm going to take her home in my M.G. and

G              D                 C
Hangin' out at discos brings you down
G              D                 C
Hangin' out at discos brings you down

(interlude)
C                D
C                D
C                D

Out on Anzac Highway in my rusty old F.B. 
G                   D                    C
And I'm looking for some food to take away
G              D                   C
Finger lickin' kitten and a double fisted bun
G                    D                      C
Well I've chewed and spewed and so I'm here to say

G              D                    C
Orange laminex pizza bars bring you down
G              D                    C
Orange laminex pizza bars bring you down

G                     D                 C
Adelaide, as we know, is the festival [city] of arts (and all that stuff)
G                D                    C
But the culture vultures still sit on the fence
  G                              D                      C
Before you put your bum on those plush red seats take a look in your backyard
G                    D                  C
Don't we need some changes in this town ?

G          D                   C
Arty farty cities bring you down
G                     D                 C
Don't we need some changes in this town ?
  G                              D                      C
Before you put your bum on those plush red seats take a look in your backyard
G                    D                  C
Don't we need some changes in this tow...........n ?
