Subject: CRD: From St. Kilda to King's Cross by Paul Kelly

>From St. Kilda to King's Cross by Paul Kelly (from the "Post"
album).  A beautiful song (but personally I prefer Brisbane :)).

Any comments, corrections or even thanks are welcome 


Intro:

G      |Emin    |C   C/B  Amin  X2


G              |Emin             |C        C/B        Amin    |
>From St. Kilda to King's Cross is thirteen hours on a bus

G                |Emin                |C        C/B
I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines

Amin              |
rushing past

C                 |D            |Emin
And all around me felt like all inside me

      |Amin         |C              |D          |        
And my body left me and my soul went running



G            |Emin             |C        C/B     Amin          |
Have you ever seen king's Cross when the rain is falling soft

G                |Emin           |C      C/B      Amin          |
I came in on the evening bus from Oxford Street I cut across

C               |D                  |
And if the rain don't fall too hard

Emin                   |Amin            |
Everything shines just like a postcard

C               |D                |G        |
Everything goes on just the same


C           |C             |G                 |
Fairweather friends are the hungriest friends

C                           |Emin             G     |
I keep my mouth well shut, I cross their open hands


Solo :

G      |Emin    |C   C/B  Amin  X2

C    |D     |Emin   |Amin   |C    |D    |



G                |Emin       |C        C/B   Amin          |
I want to see the sun go down from St. Kilda esplanade

G                     |Emin           |C        C/B        Amin        |
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard

C                  |D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Emin          |Amin            |
All that land, all that water,

C                 |D           |
for that one sweet promenade.

C                  |D
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

Emin          |Amin            |
All that land, all that water,

C                 |D           |
for that one sweet promenade.


End:

G      |Emin    |C   C/B  Amin  | (repeat to fade)
