Intro. Rolling [G] (D-dudu)
[G] The canals, and the bridges, the embankments and [C] cuts,
They [G] blasted and dug with their [C] sweat and their [D] guts,
They [G] never drank water but whiskey by [C] pints,
And the [G] shanty towns rang with their [D] songs and their [G] fights.
{soc}
[G] Navigator, Navigator, rise [C] up and be [G] strong,
The morning is here and there's [C] work to be [D] done,
Take your [G] pick and your shovel [C] and the bold dyna-[G]mite,
For to [G] shift a few [C] tons of this [D] earthly de-[G]light,
Yes, to [G] shift a few [C] tons of this [D] earthly de-[G]light. [G] x4 (getting quieter)
{eoc}
[G] They died in their hundreds with no [C] sign to mark [G] where
Save the brass in the pocket of the[C] entrepre-[D]neur.
[G] By landslide and rockblast they got [C] buried so [D] deep
[G] That in death if not [C] life they'll have [D] peace while they [G] sleep.

[G] Their mark on this land is still [C] seen and still [G] laid
The way for a commerce where vast [C] fortunes were [D] made
The su-[G]pply of an Empire where the [C] sun never [G] set
[G] Which is now deep in [C] darkness, but the [D] railway's there [G] yet.
