Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
C G
[Verse 1]
C G C
Well I'm over here in Sydney, living on the Bondi Road
G
I'm working on the buildings, doing anything I'm told
C F C
The work is hard and the pay is good and the women all look fine
G C
I'm drinking all I'm earning and nobody pays no mind
[Verse 2]
C G C
I call the folks twice a week to let them know how things are going.
G
Me da is always joking, "When you gonna send some money home".
C F C
The sister says she's coming out, when she has her leavings done.
G C
My ma's always crying, "I'm just worried about you son".
[Chorus]
F G C
Ma, life is pretty good in county Bondi
F G C
and I know that I'll probably come home someday
F G
But the sun is shining every morn'
C F
even when it rains it's warm
G C
Life is pretty good in county Bondi.
[Verse 3]
C G C
I came over after Christmas, when I lost me job at home.
G
I went looking for another, but sure lads there was nothing going
C F C
Then Roisin got let go as well and that kind of sealed our fate.
G C
The day we got our visa's, to tell the truth we couldn't wait.
[Verse 4]
C G C
So I called me cousin Danny, he's a barman down in Cheers
G
and I asked him if he'd put us up and he said he would no fears
C F C
So we kissed our ma's and da's and as we headed for the plane
G C
last we seen of Ireland was the driving, lashing rain
[Chorus]
F G C
Ma, life is pretty good in county Bondi
F G C
and I know that I'll probably come home someday
F G
But the sun is shining every morn'
C F
even when it rains it's warm
G C
Life is pretty good in county Bondi.
[Whistle Solo]
[Verse 5]
C G C
Ain't it funny how you feel more irish when you leave the place behind
G
You're on the other side of the world, but home is always on your mind
C F C
You're looking up your friends on facebook where you're wondering how the boys are playin'
G C
You'd stay in Scruffys 'till the sun comes up just to watch The Sunday Game
[Verse 6]
C G C
So I'm over here in Sydney and I'm really getting on
G
There's so many here from home it's just like Ireland in the sun
C F C
I'm living on the Bondi road and the living here is grand
G C
Did I ever bloody think that I'd be hurling in the sand
[Chorus]
F G C
Ma, life is pretty good in county Bondi
F G C
and I know that I'll probably come home someday
F G
But the sun is shining every morn'
C F
even when it rains it's warm
G C
Life is pretty good in county Bondi.
