Clean Slate

G G On a tear across the old country G Reached out for the prize, tripped over my knees G Fell right back to the Antipodes Am C G Clean slate G I was waiting at the dock of the bay G For another cargo ship to take me away G Cut all my losses, start again in Bombay Am C G Clean slate G In the rain, I was waiting in vain, wipe it clean G Am C G Am C G G I left home, my love, my land G Built a castle made of sand G Felt the handcuffs on my hand Am C The cool handshake of aluminium G And you don't know how grave it is G My friend's eyes are wide with fear G Wipe my clean slate down with tears Am C Scorched earth for ten thousand years G Clean slate G Am C G G Got my eyes (Still) G Got my neck (Still) G Got my chain (Still) G Got my chequebook (Still) G Got my fingers (Still) G And a toe Am C I've got nowhere left to go G Clean slate (Clean slate) G Clean slate (Clean slate) G Clean slate (Clean slate) G Clean slate (Clean slate) G Clean slate (Clean slate) G Clean slate (Clean slate) G Clean slate (Clean slate) G Am C G Wipe it clean *end on G
