Em            D 
Sinner on the mainland

Oh God he's seen them all

He collects his precious pittance

In every port of call

The Remittance Man


A man of empty pockets
The idleness and grieving
Are all that he retains
By the harbour lights of Sydney
Or the Bora Bora moon
He recites his sad confession
To the seagulls and the loons


Remittance Man
Blacksheep of the family clan
Broke too many rules along the way
Remittance Man
So far away from home
No they'll never understand
The Remittance Man


     Bm                                 Am
Well you can claim that you were born a prince
    Bm                             Am
But you're the only one you can convince
   F
Survivor with no livelihood
     C
That you could ever make it good
    D
But still you dream of what you can pretend


An unexpected passenger
Boarded in Marseilles
An angel full of tenderness
She gave her heart away
She was but a gypsy
He was just a stray
They almost made a miracle
But it slowly slipped away

So he follows the equator
With a wish to run aground
It's a very vicious circle
Goin' round and round and round
And he watches from the fantail
As the mainland disappears
Just like the Flying Dutchman
He's a prisoner of his fears

Remittance Man
Blacksheep of the family clan
Broke too many rules along the way
Remittance Man
So far away from home


           Am    Bm   C
No they'll never understand
           Am    Bm   C
No they'll never understand
           Am    Bm   C
No they'll never understand
               Em      D
