Paul Kelly - Swing Around The Sun Chords

[Intro]
D   D
 
[Verse 1]
D                                    F#m
Christmas comes but once a year, And that's a lucky break
    B7                                  Em
For when it comes, it leaves a trail of chaos in its wake
A         A7          A      D
Miles of scrunched up paper, yards of burning skin
   C#                          Em            A
An alcoholic vapour 'round the yellow-lidded bin
   D                             F#m
So when the day is over and your relatives have flown
B7                          Em    B     Em
Sink into your sofa with an addle-pated groan
    Gm               C7                 Dm   A7     Dm
But come what may on Boxing Day, don't let a second slip
F                       D          G
For a grand New Year adventure, I know the perfect trip
 
[Chorus]
      C                        Em
Let's swing (Swing) around the sun (Around the sun)
A                               Dm  A  Dm
Let's head out there on January 1
      G                           C
We'll ride around thе circuit, by now, you know the way
        B                             Dm           G7   G
It's an oldie but a goodie, it's our fondеst roundelay
   C                    E7
So play a bar from that well-worn repertoire
      A                               Dm    A    Dm
Let's do another doughnut 'round that great big star
F                    Fm               Em     D#m   Dm
We might as well, I think it could be fun
      G                C         A
Let's swing around the sun
 
[Verse 2]
D                            F#m
Every year's a battleground, some you're bound to lose
     B7                                 Em       E        Em
It's hard to turn your fate around when fortune turns the screws
A                                D
If you come a cropper and you're feeling insecure
   C#                         Em              A
It might not seem improper to decline another tour
    D                                   F#m
But put your trust in travel 'cause I'm here to testify
     B7                            Em   B      Em
This zillion tons of gravel is the only way to fly
      Gm            C                  Dm        A7    Dm
And I bet some day along the way your faith will be restored
     F             D7               G
Come sit beside me on the ride, I'm happy you're on board
 
[Chorus]
      C                        Em
Let's swing (Swing) around the sun (Around the sun)
      A7                              Dm   A   Dm
Let's wrap this lap and start another one
    G                            C
And by my calculations, we'll be halfway 'round in June
    B
You better pack for all occasions
          Dm                            G
And don't forget to bring the crazy old moon
      C                       E7
We'll go so far, hey, to come back to where we are
     A                                 Dm    A   Dm
It's just another doughnut 'round that great big star
      F                 Fm                 Em     A
Let's clock up one more block before we're done
      F                Fm              Em    A
Make this the greatest spin we've ever spun, whoa
      F                 Fm               Em   D#m
Yeah, what the hell, I think it could be fun
      Dm     G         C     A7   Dm
Let's swing around the sun
 
[Outro]
G7         C       A
Around the sun
      Dm    G          C
Let's swing around the sun
C
Oh, oh
