Every day I wend my way to the middle of Sydney town 
                     Dm              Bm         E 
To earn my screw and do my due for a company of renown 
  Am                                 Dm 
I do my chore on the 40th floor of a building round and tall 
Am                                                              F

Up in the sky where the rents are high and we all do sweet damn all

Flash goes the light and ring goes the bell and up in the air we go 
E 
Sailing in The Summit lift to the land of ice and snow 
A 
Up past the names that we've never heard of the people we don't know 
E                                   D          A 
I earn my bread with Sydney spread 600 feet below

On the ground floor near the big lift door the crowds all huddle round 
                                 Dm                        Bm 
      E 
In our castle in the air there's all creeds there, there's yellow, white and brown 
     Am                                   Dm 
The doors gape wide, we trudge inside and terror fills the air 
Am                                                     F       E 
Three, two, one, all hope is gone, tell mother I still care

Chrysler, Wimpy, Esso and Clyde and Ord BT and Co 
                     Dm                Bm               E 
The names go past so devilish fast, we must be near the snow 
   Am                              Dm 
At thirty three, which is Hitachi, seventeen Japanese go 
Am                                                                  F

It's strange the way that every day as we trace our heavenly track 
                      Dm                Bm            E 
The ones that want to get out first are always at the back 
   Am                              Dm 
So push the button, mind the door, stiffen up your knee 
Am                                        F          E 
Sorry miss, I meant to press number forty three
