Steel)
G
He came up from the country
D
looking for a job of work,
Em
He came from a town that
G
D
died a slow hard death,
Em
G
And when the train pulled into Spencer Street,
Em
He opened one eye and he took
G
D
a long deep breath.
Em
G
On the first day he was dazed by
D
the noise and by the bustle,
Bm
D
Em
He sat in the square,
G
D
and tried so hard to think.
Bm
Em
G
Found a cheap hotel and booked himself
D
a room all damp and shabby
G
D
he bought himself a drink.
G

G
He sang: "Flow river flow,
F
G
flow to the sea,
C
D
Em
bring my dreams back home to me."
G
He rose early on the second day,
Em
struggle of the dawn
G
D
To rise above the smoke and haze.
Em
G
And armed with a map he made his
D
way from factory to foundry,
Em
Joined the queues of the
G
D
unskilled labourers.
G
C
D
Then an old man came, shook his hand,
C
G
Sat right there beside him,
C
And he heard the tale of
Bm
G
Am
rural poverty.
C
D
Shook his head, and with a tear he said,
C
G
"All that you have told me
C
Bm
Is like having my own story
G
Am
told to me."
G
F
He sang: "Flow river flow,
G
F

flow to the sea,
F
C
Flow on big river, bring my dreams back
D

home to me."
G
Drinking harder every night,
D
He made himself keep searching
Em
Till he found he could not
G
D
rise to greet the day.
Em
G
And he lay behind a vale of tears
D
on the Yarra bank that morning,
Bm
Em
G
And he wondered how the hell
Asus4
D
things got this way.
Em
G
Late that night he stumbled
D
from an inner city bar,
Em
Barely conscious down the
G
D
alley he did sway.
Em
G
And they beat him, they sank the boot in,
D
And they took his last four dollars,
Em
G
Left him dying in the dawn,
G
F
He sang: "Flow river flow,
G
F
G
flow to the sea,
C
D
G
bring my dreams back home to me."
F

Flow river flow, flow to the sea,
C
D
G
bring my dreams back home to me.
F
G
Flow river flow,
F
G
oh flow on to the sea,
F
C
Flow on big river, bring my dreams,
