[Verse one]
G
Where the hell is Leongatha I thought I heard you say
A little country town downunder a long long way away
C
The footy team played in green and gold if the cows weren’t in the way
G D C G C G D
A good place to grow up in a good place to play
[Verse two]
G
Moved to the Melbourne suburbs to a big housing estate
Mum and Dad had met my needs with love and taught me how to wait
C
Head down in the books paid off a job courtesy of the state
G D C G C G D
Decided to be a teacher in a company I would suffocate
[Verse three]
G
Got out of the city though when I could hair falling down my back
I liked the simple country life and exploring a winding track
C
Beat around the bush awhile but the mind got a little slack
G D C G C G D
Being young it was time to go it was time for me to pack
[Chorus]
G
From Leongatha to London with detours along the way
From Leongatha to London no regrets today
C
From Leongatha to London with detours along the way
G
From Leongatha to London no regrets today
D C G C G D
Leongatha to London You’ve come a long way
[Verse four]
G
When you look at a map of the world do you ever get itchy feet?
Throw the job in man there’s people you have to meet
C
Tried but failed to settle down had to admit defeat
G D C G C G D
Though it comes with costs like everything heading down a one way street
[Verse five]
G
They say that if you’re sick of life you’re sick of London Town
The world just a few bob away with its cultures and its sounds
C
And even though in changing times there’s trouble all around
G D C G C G D
The young at heart in Leongatha will still be London Bound
[Chorus]
G
From Leongatha to London detours along the way
From Leongatha to London no regrets today
C
From Leongatha to London detours along the way
G
From Leongatha to London no regrets today
D C G C G D
Leongatha to London hey man you’ve come a long way
