D G D
THE CANALS, THE BRIDGES, THE EMBANKMENTS AND CUTS,

THEY BLASTED AND DUG WITH THERE SWEAT AND THERE GUTS,

THEY NEVER DRANK WATER BUT WHISKY BY PINTS,
D G D A
AND THE SHANTY TOWNS RANG WITH THERE SONGS AND THERE FIGHTS.
(CHORUS)
D G D
NAVIGATOR, NAVIGATOR, RISE UP AND BE STRONG,
D G D A7

D//G//D// /A/A7/D (SORT OF!)
THEY DIED IN THERE THOUSANDS, WITH NO SIGN TO MARK WHERE,
SAVE THE BRASS IN THE POCKET OF THE ENTREPRENEUR,
BY LANDSLIDE AND ROCK BLAST THEY ARE BURIED SO DEEP,
AND THAT IN DEATH IF NOT LIFE THEY'LL HAVE PEACE WHILE THEY
SLEEP.
(CHORUS)
THERE MARK ON THIS LAND IS STILL SEEN AND STILL LAID,
A WAY FOR THE COMMERCE WHERE VAST FORTUNES WERE MADE,
THE SUPPLY OF AN EMPIRE WHERE THE SUN NEVER SETS,
WHICH IS NOW DEEP IN DARKNESS BUT THE RAILWAYS THERE YET.
(CHORUS)
