verse 1 
G              Cadd9     D     Em7  
I was born and raised on steel river 
G        Cadd9           D     G 
I see it all like it was yesterday 
              Cadd9        D     Em7 
The ships and bridges were all delivered 
G           Cadd9          D     G 
From Sydney harbour to the Cisco bay

verse 2 
G            Cadd9        D     Em7 
And I met my love down on steel river 
G             Cadd9                D         G 
We served our dreams and spent our childhood days 
         Cadd9              D       Em7 
In rainy streets we'd kiss away the shivers 
G             Cadd9            D      G     G    G 
And hide from fears inside the latest craze

verse 3 
G            Cadd9           D     Em7 
Ten thousand bombers hit the steel river 
G        Cadd9            D       G 
And many died to keep her running free 
        Cadd9                  D       Em7 
And she survived but now she's gone forever 
G           Cadd9           D   G 
Her burning heart is just a memory 

verse 4 
G                   Cadd9   D     Em7 
And I ran away from life on steel river 
G       Cadd9        D        G 
Luck or not I gladly took the break 
              Cadd9           D      Em7 
The odds were low the chances nearly zero 
G          Cadd9 D       G 
A chance it was I had to take

Verse 5 
G             Cadd9          D     Em7 
They say that salmon swim in steel river 
G             Cadd9            D     G 
They say it's good to see them back again 
          Cadd9             D      Em7 
I know it hurts to see what really happened 
G          Cadd9           D       G 
I know one salmon ain't no good to them 

Verse 6 
G                  Cadd9                 D     Em7 
They were born and raised to serve their steel mother 
G           Cadd9               D    G 
It was they taught and all they ever knew 
           Cadd9                 D          Em7  
And they believed that she would keep their children 
G                 Cadd9  D        G 
Even though not a single word was true
