[Intro]
[E] [A]
[Chorus]
A (John) E (June) A
Oh, I am a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire
(John)E A
I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
When I get [E]off of that fast boat to [A]Sydney
[Verse 1]
(John) A E
I said, listen to me, baby, I gave up the lovin' trade
I'm tired of all this runnin', jumpin', [A]playin'
(June) E
But you're like it down under the world with the Australian girls
And there's not a word of truth in what you're [A]sayin'
[Chorus]
A (John) E (June) A
Oh, but I am a cheat and I'm a liar and you're a lovin' ball of fire
(John) E A
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
When I get [E]off of that fast boat to [A]Sydney
[Solo]
E A x4
[Verse 2]
A (John) E
This is my greatest act, I've come boomerangin' back
Grinnin' like a Rudolf Valen[A]tino
(June) E
But then you grab your travel load like a swingin' grimmin' dog
And hopped on that fast boat to [A]Sydney
[Chorus]
A (John) E (June) A
'Cause I'm a cheat and I'm a liar but you're a lovin' ball of fire
(John) E A
Honey, I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
(June) E (John) A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
When I get [E]off of that fast boat to [A]Sydney
[Outro]
