[Verse 1]
[D]Shore to shore,
[Bm]got some l[G]and [D]between
Island life is living [A]from a cup
[G]of broken [D]queens
Hit [Em]the jackpot rolling [A]through
[G]a pipe dream in a knot
[A]And I'm [Bm]missing what was pissing
up the [G]wall that I for[Bm]got
[D]I forg[A]ot, I f[G]org[Bm]ot[A]
[D][A][G][A][Bm][A][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]I am the bus driver,
[G]give me some [D]grace
You've never seen me [A]and
[G]you don't know my [D]face
She was [Em]no Hattie Carroll it was c[G]old,
it was blue
[A]And it [Bm]only happened
des[G]pite me or [D]you
[A]Me or you, me [G]or [Bm]you[A]
[D][G][Bm][A][D]

[Verse 3]
Smoking paper to [G]the crim
son flashing [D]bars
Drinking cocktail wine or cottage cream
and [G]passing [D]strangers' cars
Live in [Em]one room h[A]ousing with a
[G]roof to meet the sky
[A]Spelling [Bm]Jesus won't you please us
'cos you [G]seem a damn nice [D]guy
[A]Damn nice guy, damn [G]nice [Bm]guy
[A][D][A][G][A][Bm][A]

[Verse 4]
[D]
We listened to passengers
[G]stamping old [D]songs
And we lose what's to lose [Bm]when
you [G]haven't done [D]wrong
[Em]Drums too slow [A]for a fu[G]neral beat
[A]No [Bm]strumming of strings
[G]and no stamping of [D]feet
[A]Of feet, of [G]feet[Bm][A]
[D][G][Bm][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
It's awfully considerate
[Bm]of y[G]ou t[A]o think of[D] me
And it's not so hard to see you smoking
[G]fags and drinking [D]tea
[A]It's [Em]the crummy lost at seasick
[A]with [G]a floating on the waves
[A]To joi[Bm]n the other flotsam with the[G] ripped
up [D]queens and knaves
[A]Queens and knaves,
[G]queens and knaves

[Verse 6]
[D]There lies a lady,
[A]she's [G]gone and she's [D]gone
She'll be a fine [A]lady be[G]fore too [D]long
[A]But I h[Em]it her head and[A]
she [G]finished her walking
[A]She [Bm]shouldn't be dead,
[Em]she was [G]too busy talki[D]ng
Busy [A]talking, busy [G]talking[Bm]
[A][D][G][Bm][A][D]

[Verse 7]
[D]They can fill a cup or [Bm]two
[G]and still disturb the peace
[D]It's never made it all the way from shore to [G]shore,
from [D]west to east
I [Em]read that independence was
[G]a lightness in your step
You [A]walked [Bm]away,
I felt so heavy at [G]the start of [A]every [D]day
[A]Every day, [G]every [Bm]day
[A][D][G][Bm][A]

[Verse 8]
[D]
I've been waiting an hour and
the [G]bus hasn't [D]come
I've been cursing my God
for the [G]lack of the [D]sun
I've been [Em]ruined by destiny,
[G]lowered by fate
[A]And the [Bm]upshot of this is
I'm [G]going [D]to be late
[A]To be late, to be [G]late
