Invercargill -© Wayne Gillespie 1985 -Key Bm
Intro and verse
Bm+e.. Gmaj7.. Bm+e.. G6/D.. Bm9/C#
1) That's right there's a car for sale
It's in good condition and the motor is running
It was my wife's but she went away
Bm+e.......................Asus/C#..A
She went to live in ....Invercargill
It's got everything you could ever need
It's got bucket seats and the tyres they're radial
She never said a word - I never thought she'd leave
Just found a note on the kitchen table...
Instrumental Interlude 4 bars, Bm to Gmaj7
2) Come around we could have a drink
I don't live far from the local
It really must be sold this week
Up to now I guess I was hopeful
Don't really know what I can say
The engine's small but it's got tons of power
I know that we will never be the same
Once we could do a 100 miles an hour
Instrumental 8-16 bars Double time, Bm to Gmaj7
3) Starts well on a winter's day
Seats look like leather but they're only vinyl
She came home to see the kids in May
But she soon went back ....to Invercargill
Did everything I could to make her stay
I even got her a warrant of fitness
It's been a year now since she went away
She wouldn't even come home for Christmas
Instrumental Interlude 4 bars, Bm to Gmaj7
4) That's right there's a car for sale
It's got a little rust but it's really not too bad
Every day you know I check the mail
But it takes such a long time to get here ....from Invercargill
