Verse
A Bm
The town hall, note the mosaic wall,
D C#
Well, there are 5,600 tiles on that wall. I know, I counted them all,
A Bm
C# local school, C# local swimming pool,
D C#
Which was opened by the Governor General, back in 1952,
Em F# C#
Where I was caught with a friend age 11 sniffing tractor fuel,
G#
We thought we were pretty cool breaking them changing shed rules.
[Verse 2]
A Bm
But do you see up there? The banner hanging in the air,
D C#
The Presbyterian fair, well I never go, there’s too many Presbyterians there,
Bm E
But if you’re interested, the fair’s in the third weekend of August every year,
Bm E
But don’t bother entering the raffle, it’s always won by some kid of the Mayor.
[Verse 3]
A Bm
Oh do you hear that sound? The town clock heard from anywhere in town,
D C#
Until 1960, there was a little place in Norway, we bought it for a hundred pounds.
Em F# C#
Rumor has it they sold it cheap because the chimes were too loud,
G#
But every time I hear that sound it makes me so proud.
[Verse 4]
E G#
Look to your left, what a beautiful sight,
A G#
It’s Paula, Paula Thompson, nee Paula Wright,
E G#
Look at her hair, it’s still gorgeous even now,
A G#
Flowing like the Waimahunga river, which incidentally is to your right,
A G#
And is the largest in the area, in terms of volume,
A G#
Everybody look at Paula, Look at Paula Thompson,
A C#m G#
I always thought I’d marry Paula, but some things just don’t work out that way,
A Bm
Well that’s the most important thing you’ll learn on the tour today,
D C#
That and the fact that there’ll be a toilet break at the information center near the man-made lake.
[Spoken Section 2]
A Bm
I'll just ask you one favor, if you do see Paula in town later on,
D C#
I'd appreciate that you don't mention the details of my tour. Ahh, Same goes for my wife, Gloria, who you'll
A Bm
recognize because she looks a hell of a lot like Paula, actually. Yeah, but um,
D C#
Well, she's not Paula, that's for sure, no, oh she's not Paula no...
[Verse 5]
E G# A G# A
Paula Thompson born in ’54, to a family of four
G# A G# E
To the family next door, take me back next door
E G# A G# A
Paula Thompson nee Paula Wright, that’s her old house number 39,
G# A C#m F#m
Number 41 was mine, if this old coach could go back in time,
F#m F#m
I’d drive to 1979... Take me back!
[Instrumental]
Em Em Em F#m
Em Em Em F#m
[Verse 6]

Take me back, take me back.
Em F#m
Take take a take take a me back!
Em Em
Take me back, take me back.
Em F#m
Take take a take take a me back!
Em Em
Take me back, take me back.
Em E
Take me back, take me back.
E C#
Take me back, Take me ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aaaaack!
[Spoken Section 3]
A Bm
Yeah, sorry about that. Just- I just get a little bit carried away there on the corner, bit emotional,
D C#
But, that is the end of the tour, so yeah mind your step, enjoy your stay, and good on you.
