INTRO -
G C D (2X)
G C D G Here's the story of a nineteen seventies surf lifesaver
C D The ballad of a man with a moustache
G C D A life's lesson for those who've come from nothing
Em D C G He married Miss Maroubra Beach
D G Born in forty-six
D G Orphaned at ten
C G D And nobody wanted to take the poor kid in
D G He moved to the beach
D G When he turned fifteen
C G D And a lifelong love affair began
G C D G Here's the story of a nineteen seventies surf lifesaver
C D The ballad of a man with a suntan
Continues after the ad
G C. D Smoking cigarettes after saving lives
Em D C G Three children with Miss Maroubra Beach
D G Singing Swing Low
D G They'd drink 'til they drop
C G D No worries still row, row the boat
D G Then a terrible stroke of luck
D G Tries to take the man
C G D But he fights for his life to come home
G C D G Here's the story of a nineteen seventies surf lifesaver
G C D The ballad of a man who loved a beer
G C D. G But now he's learning to walk again and living his new life
Em D C G And standing right by him is Miss Maroubra Beach
Am Em
Am Em
D Love story
Am Em
Am Em
D G D G And the surf boat led the parade When they carried him home
C G D And his photo still hangs on the wall
D G And to this very day
D G They speak of the man
C G D And how his will to live inspired them all
G C D G So that's the story of a nineteen seventies surf lifesaver
G C D The ballad of a man with a moustache
G C D. G Australian spirit life saver to the end
Em D C G He married Miss Maroubra Beach
Em D C G He married Miss Maroubra Beach
Em D C He loved my mother Miss Maroubra Beach
