Koala Sprint
From the Head injuries album.
(Tabbed for 2 Guitars)
And out from the echoes of the night
Concrete caverns catch the sky and hold the stars to ransom
A thousand dreams, it's getting late
Thousand runners standing still
I can smell the sand and sea again
I've had enough away
City times down down, I've got to go
Lord don't let me wait, Stay low
'Cause I'm going up north again
(play 2 times)
(play 2 times)

Verse 1:
Long way from Chatswood to the top of the gulf
I'll be hitching pacific when the morning sun's up
It's mile after mile on the long coast road
Smell of frangipani ocean sky blue
D|---5---5---4---4----|
A|-3---3---2---4------|
But I'm sick of seeing those beer can caravans
I'm getting even sicker of the thong drive-in
I'm feeling worse and worse at the chiko locallo
And the pubs all close at ten
Chorus:
(Play twice)
A|-----3-?2--2-3--------------|
E|-5-------------5--4---------|
Summer sun's got me stopping
A|-----3-?2--2-3--------------------------------|
E|-5-------------5--4-----------|
Summer sun's got me trying
I'm waiting round for those waves and days
I hope it never ends

CHORUS
Well there's a new world bricking in the Old World charms
Suburbs highway pass cicada-coloured farms
Buy a car, sell a car, lead a car away
n.
20 hours to Brisbane on night prowl play
/
20 hours to Brisbane...where's Brisbane...
