Bucket List Blues
The narrator tells of the number one destination on his bucket list and what he would do there.
Lyrics & Chords:
(D) Oz has been on my bucket list
Since (G) I read (A)"On the (D) Beach"
(Em) Fifty years of longing
But it (G) still seems (A) out of my (D) reach
My (G) head is filled with old clichés
The re(D)ality I want to learn
Would I (F#m) love the place or hate it
If I this (Em) visit I no longer ad(A)journed?
I've got (G) friends there who I'd love to meet
(D) Places I yearn to go
But (Em) will I ever walk Melbourne's streets
Boils (G) down to (A) "god only (D) knows"
CHORUS
I want to (G) play the blues with Brian C.
Sing the (D) night away with John
(F#m) Visit long lost relatives
Before (Em) our last links are (A) gone
Ride the (G) winding roads of Tasmania
With Jon (D) Duncan at the wheel
Give (Em) back the love they've given me
(G) Over (A) all these (D) years
CHORUS
But if you (G) plan to go to Australia
You'll (D) surely need some time
It's no (F#m) weekend destination
Just the (Em) journey takes a hell of a (A) while
It'll (G) take a huge chunk out of your savings
I've (D) heard it's by no means cheap
Per(Em)haps in the end I'll visit Oz
(G) Only (A) in my (D) sleep
CHORUS
