[C] [Em] [F] [C]   [C] [Em] [F] [C]  
 
[C] Now’s not the time for [Em] wailin’
While there’s [F] water in the [C] river
[C] We’ll all lay down and [Am] cry when it’s [G] gone
[C] I’ll be a [Em] jackass and [F] laugh at every sun-[C]rise
[C] Celebrate the [G] day when it’s [C] born
 
[C] And we’ll cruise one more [Em] time down the [F] river [C]  
While our [Am] hearts over-[F]flow with [G] joy
[C] And we’ll reminisce our [Em] days down [F] Salisbury [C] Street
[F] Salisbury [C] Street, [Dm] Salisbury [G] Street

Yeah we’ll [C] cruise one more [Em] time down the [F] Murray  [C]  
Don’t [Am] wave the river [F] gums good-[G]bye
Just [C] thank ’em for the [Em] shade and the [F] stories [C]  
[F] Tomorrow there’ll be [G] time to [C] cry
 
[C] So untie the ropes my [Em] darlin’s
There’s [F] broken cloud to-[C]day
[C] And that lucky ‘ole’ will [Am] paint those billows [G] blush
[C] Don’t wanna miss the [Em] sundown [F] shining on the [C] water
[C] Chasing sneaky [G] shadows through the [C] bush 

[C] And we’ll cruise one more [Em] time down the [F] river  [C]  
While our [Am] hearts over-[F] flow with [G] joy
[C] And we’ll reminisce our [Em] days down [F] Salisbury [C] Street
[F] Salisbury [C] Street, [Dm] Salisbury [G] Street

Yeah we’ll [C] cruise one more [Em] time down the [F] Murray  [C]
