Intro : E A
Chorus : 
A            E                                      A
Oh, I am a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire
       E                     A
I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
           E                            A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
        E                        A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
   A                            E
I said, listen to me, baby, I gave up the lovin' trade
                                        A
I'm tired of all this runnin', jumpin', playin'
                                         E
But you're like it down under the world with the Australian girls
                                    A
And there's not a word of truth in what you're sayin'
Chorus : 
A            E                                      A
Oh, I am a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire
       E                     A
I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
           E                            A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
        E                        A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
Solo:
A                              E
This is my greatest act, I've come boomerangin' back
                       A
Grinnin' like a Rudolf Valentino
                                    E
But then you grab your travel load like a swingin' grimmin' dog
                             A
And hopped on that fast boat to Sydney
Chorus : 
A            E                                      A
Cause I?m a cheat and I'm a liar, oh, but you're a lovin' ball of fire
       E                     A
I'll leave you like a bum without a penny
           E                            A
And while I'm home with the blues, I'll be hopin' like a kangaroo
        E                        A
When I get off of that fast boat to Sydney
