Clean Slate

G

[Verse 1]
G
On a tear across the old country
G
Reached out for the prize, tripped 
over my knees
G
Fell right back to the Antipodes
           Am C G
Clean slate

[Verse 2]
G
I was waiting at the dock of the bay
G
For another cargo ship to take me 
away
G
Cut all my losses, start again in 
Bombay
           Am C G
Clean slate

G
In the rain, I was waiting in vain, 
wipe it clean

[Interlude]
G            Am  C
G            Am  C

[Verse 3]
G
I left home, my love, my land
G
Built a castle made of sand
G
Felt the handcuffs on my hand
     Am               C
The cool handshake of aluminium
G
And you don't know how grave it is
G
My friend's eyes are wide with fear
G
Wipe my clean slate down with tears
Am                     C
Scorched earth for ten thousand 
years
G
Clean slate


[Instrumental]

Am C G

[Verse 4]
G
Got my eyes (Still)
G
Got my neck (Still)
G
Got my chain (Still)
G
Got my chequebook (Still)
G
Got my fingers (Still)
G
And a toe
Am                 C
I've got nowhere left to go

[Refrain]
G
Clean slate (Clean slate)
G
Clean slate (Clean slate)
G
Clean slate (Clean slate)
G
Clean slate (Clean slate)
G
Clean slate (Clean slate)
G
Clean slate (Clean slate)
G
Clean slate (Clean slate)
G            Am C G
Wipe it clean
