Little River Band - Long Jumping Jeweller Chords

[Intro]
 
Bb F C Bb F G
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                  D
Everybody can't be heros,
    G              C
But some can still try,
                             D
To make their lives a little different
           F            c
Before the time it goes by,
    C                    D                F            C
Now I live up around the north shore in a room with no view,
C                     D         F                   C
Every morning on that ferry, my view is filled with you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                               F
I'm gonna let my heart take me away,
C                                    F
I'm gonna jump a little further everyday,
C                               F
I'm gonna let my heart take me away,
        Bb           F                   C
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                        D             F              C
She's there every single morning with about a hundred more,
C                      D        F                 C
They watch as I come a-runnin', they all know the score,
   C                    D             F                  C
I always like to be the last one so I jump as she pulls away,
    C                     D         F          C
The gap gets a little bit wider the longer I delay
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C                               F
I'm gonna let my heart take me away,
C                                    F
I'm gonna jump a little further everyday,
C                               F
I'm gonna let my heart take me away,
        Bb           F                   G
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bb       F                C
I handle gemstones in the city,
Bb          F                  C
In a little lane off Australia square,
      Bb                 F                 C0
I got one picked out for you that looks so pretty,
    Bb                F               G
But I got to make you notice that I'm there.

[Verse 3]
 
C                          D          F               C
Well I started to make the papers and people began to bet,
C                       D               F                   C
Would I end up with the lady or would I just end up getting wet,
    C                          D         F          C
Now I'm not gonna give you the answer in oh so many words,
    C                  D                   F                C     F
But swimming in Sydney Harbour you know is strictly for the birds.
                      C     F
Tweet, tweet, for the birds
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
C                               F
I'm gonna let my heart take me away,
C                                    F
I'm gonna jump a little further everyday,
C                               F
I'm gonna let my heart take me away,
        Bb           F                   C
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay.
        Bb           F                   G
I'm the long jumping jeweler of Lavender Bay.
