Three Rivers Hotel

E                                  
From Townsville to Greenvale we're 
A          E
building a line
Through the ranges and gorges to the
  A            E
 great nickel mine
                             A
The long days are dusty and hotter 
than hell
            B                      
And that's why we all worship Three
         E
 Rivers Hotel

 E                              
It's Theiss Brothers camp on the 
  A            E
banks of the Star
                                A  
Where men from all nations and 
           E
walks of life are
And it's funny to listen to the 
 A
stories they tell
       B                           
Every night round the bar in Three 
        E
Rivers Hotel

 E                              A 
We curse at the things that go 
                E
wrong through the day
                             A     
And vow that we'll snatch it go far
  E
 away
                                A
But when day is done and we're soon 
feeling well
      B                          
And laughter rings out from Three 
         E

 E                             A  
There's Wesley the barman and 
         E
young irish Joe
                         A         
Serving the booze and collecting 
   E
the dough
What a stir they would cause if they
  A
 ever should tell
          B                        
All the secrets they've learned in 
              E
Three Rivers Hotel

 E                                 
On the night after pay day there's 
 A         E
fun and romance
It's a night for the families to 
 A           E
sing and to dance
You can let down your hair and come 
 A
out of your shell
    B                         
And do your own thing in Three 
         E
Rivers Hotel

 E                                 
And if you listen to the bosses 
       A               E
when the night's getting late
On the progress they're making the 
 A           E
best in the state
They'd be finished this line and 
       A
this maintenance as well
          B                        
If they worked like they bragged in
               E
 Three Rivers Hotel

 E                                 
And if you think you can drink 
       A        E
we've got money to back
                          A        
On stayers like Cass and old grader
  E
 Jack
And they tell me old Coster gives 
  A
everyone hell
          B                        
When he gets on the booze in Three 
         E
Rivers Hotel (Yeah he's a whopper)

 E                               A
When this job is finished we'll 
          E
pack up and go
To another construction still 
  A          E
chasing big dough
                            A
But where ever I wander my memory 
will dwell
           B                       
On those happy days in Three Rivers
  E
 Hotel

Repeat 1st verse twice- After 1st
