A# A On behalf of myself and the coachline I'd like to thank you for choosing to drive with us today. F Gm I'm a bit of a local, I hope I can impart some of my local knowledge. If you've got any questions, A# A Don't hesitate to just sing 'em out. For those who are interested, swaying away to the right there that's the Old Bridge. F Gm That was replaced by the New Bridge in 1972. Yeah, funny thing, the, A# A Old Bridge used to be called the New Bridge. Yeah, that a bit of a funny one! Erm... F Gm Up ahead there's the bronze of Bluey, a local sheepdog, who became a member of Regional Council. A# A Was a bloody great day for dogs, not just here, but throughout the entire country, yeah. F Gm There's the town's oldest street. Up ahead and that's the Museum of Meat. A# A Erm, town's largest industry, course that's the sock factory, hence the giant sock. [Verse 1] F Gm The town hall, note the mosaic wall, A# A Well, there are 5,600 tiles on that wall. I know, I counted them all, F Gm A local school, A local swimming pool, A# A Which was opened by the Governor General, back in 1952, Cm D A Where I was caught with a friend age 11 sniffing tractor fuel, E We thought we were pretty cool breaking them changing shed rules. [Verse 2] F Gm But do you see up there? The banner hanging in the air, A# A The Presbyterian fair, well I never go, there’s too many Presbyterians there, Gm C But if you’re interested, the fair’s in the third weekend of August every year, Gm C But don’t bother entering the raffle, it’s always won by some kid of the Mayor. [Verse 3] F Gm Oh do you hear that sound? The town clock heard from anywhere in town, A# A Until 1960, there was a little place in Norway, we bought it for a hundred pounds. Cm D A Rumor has it they sold it cheap because the chimes were too loud, E But every time I hear that sound it makes me so proud. [Verse 4] C E Look to your left, what a beautiful sight, F E It’s Paula, Paula Thompson, nee Paula Wright, C E Look at her hair, it’s still gorgeous even now, F E Flowing like the Waimahunga river, which incidentally is to your right, F E And is the largest in the area, in terms of volume, F E Everybody look at Paula, Look at Paula Thompson, F Am E I always thought I’d marry Paula, but some things just don’t work out that way, F Gm Well that’s the most important thing you’ll learn on the tour today, A# A That and the fact that there’ll be a toilet break at the information center near the man-made lake. [Spoken Section 2] F Gm I'll just ask you one favor, if you do see Paula in town later on, A# A I'd appreciate that you don't mention the details of my tour. Ahh, Same goes for my wife, Gloria, who you'll F Gm recognize because she looks a hell of a lot like Paula, actually. Yeah, but um, A# A Well, she's not Paula, that's for sure, no, oh she's not Paula no... [Verse 5] C E F E F Paula Thompson born in ’54, to a family of four E F E C To the family next door, take me back next door C E F E F Paula Thompson nee Paula Wright, that’s her old house number 39, E F Am Dm Number 41 was mine, if this old coach could go back in time, Dm Dm I’d drive to 1979... Take me back! [Instrumental] Cm Cm Cm Dm Cm Cm Cm Dm [Verse 6] Cm Cm Take me back, take me back. Cm Dm Take take a take take a me back! Cm Cm Take me back, take me back. Cm Dm Take take a take take a me back! Cm Cm Take me back, take me back. Cm C Take me back, take me back. C A Take me back, Take me ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aaaaack! [Spoken Section 3] F Gm Yeah, sorry about that. Just- I just get a little bit carried away there on the corner, bit emotional, A# A
