[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [G] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G] [C] [G]

[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
A[G] good place to grow up in a good place to play [D] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D]

[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]Decided to be a teacher in a company I would suffocate [D] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D]

[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]Being young it was time to go it was time for me to pack [D] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D]

[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]Leongatha to London [C] You’ve come a long w[G]ay [C] [G] [D]

[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]Though it comes with costs like everything heading down a one way street [D] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D]

[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]The young at heart in Leongatha will still be London Bound [D] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D]

[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]Leongatha to London [C] hey man you’ve come a long w[G]ay [C] [G] [D]
