D Em
Ruben Tracey I know him well
G A
He drinks Resches at the Captain Cook Hotel
D Em
Down by Botany Bay,By the refineries
G A
Lifting hides all day, inside a tannery
Chorus:
D Em G A
I wanna lay in the arms of the ones that I love, forever and
ever
D Em G A
I wanna lay in the arms of the ones that I love, forever and
ever
In Booralee Park, he shared his Dalwood claret
Watching trucks rattle off to the markets
As the moon hung above it's weary smile
Behind the beaming clock at Felton Textile
Repeat Chorus
B A G
From Central Platform Number4
B A G
Amongst the slammin of the rail yard doors
B A G
Safe from the blood of the workshop floor
B A G
Why can't you be happy
D A G
Why can't you be happy
D A G F# E(open 6th string) Em G A
Why can't you be happy
Roll the Ruby the taste of nicotine
Wash the taste away don't waste the kerosine
Inside every flicker every year is shown
And when the ash falls let it burn you to the bone
Down by Luna Park its never ever dark
And from the swaying pier you can watch the rattlers spark
I took a girl once we rode the Big Dipper
I thought she was my Cinderella but she couldn't fit the slipper
Repeat Chorus
Ruben Tracey I know him well
He drinks shandy at the Cauliflower Hotel
Raise your glass crack a smile
He could've worked thirty years at Felton Textiles
