[Verse 1]
G Em
Back in early '96 in North West Australia
A F#m
I wonder why you were lyin' on the street alone
G Em
Another accident inflicted on an innocent child
A F#m
In the home, while I was on the see-saw
G Em
I was in the garden, readin' Papillon
A F#m
Tellin' myself real people couldn't be so cruel
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
And she said, "Honey, what's wrong?"
A
I said, "Babe, what's right?"
F#m G Em
So we staggered off into the night, oh
A F#m G Em
I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky just to sleep at night, oh
A F#m G
So we linked arms and we staggered off into the night
Em A F#m G
Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed
[Chorus]
G
By the boys
D G
The boys are killin' me
D G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
D G
I'm comin' as I am, comin' as I am
D G
Even if you tell me I'm a liar
D G
The boys are killin' me
D G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
D G
Mantajarra Walyakarra
F#m
Take a deep breath and hold your fire
[Verse 2]
G Em
Gesticulating wildly and passionate at cars
A F#m
Parked in the dark on the street, oh
G Em
I would've fallen in a hole
A
If you didn't have my shoulders tight
F#m
You're swaying like a see-saw
G Em
If that's what it is to trust another, then you got it all
A F#m
But I don't know if I can trust my country anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
And she said, "Honey, what's wrong?"
A
I said, "Babe, what's right?"
F#m G Em
So we staggered off into the night, oh
Em A F#m G
Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed
[Chorus]
G
By the boys
D G
The boys are killin' me
D G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
D G
I'm comin' as I am, comin' as I am
D G
Even if you tell me I'm a liar
D G
The boys are killin' me
D G
I'm just a sailor and a miner
D G
Mantajarra Walyakarra
F#m
Take a deep breath and hold your fire
