From Saint Kilda Tab

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:

      |    |       X2


              |             |                    |
>From St. Kilda to King's Cross is thirteen hours on a bus

                |                |        
I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines

              |
rushing past

                 |            |
And all around me felt like all inside me

      |         |              |          |
And my body left me and my soul went running

            |             |                       |
Have you ever seen king's Cross when the rain is falling soft

                |           |                      |
I came in on the evening bus from Oxford Street I cut across

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

                   |            |
Everything shines just like a postcard

               |                |        |
Everything goes on just the same


           |             |                 |
Fairweather friends are the hungriest friends

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


Solo :

      |    |       X2

    |     |   |   |    |    |

                |       |                     |
I want to see the sun go down from St. Kilda esplanade

                     |           |                        |
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard

                  |
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

          |            |
All that land, all that water,

                 |           |
for that one sweet promenade.

                  |
I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour

          |            |
All that land, all that water,

                 |           |
for that one sweet promenade.
