[Intro]
G Bm C Em D

[Verse]
G Bm C Em D
G
Telegram arrived today 
Bm
well it's time to catch the Monterey

       C
coz the man i wed he waits for me 
       Em                    D
and the daughter that he's yet to 
see 
US navy beamed its message
"will deliver brides on a one way 
passage"
it made big news across the nation
the Bridal Train leaves from Perth 
station



[Chorus]
C               D
All the girls around Australia 
G            Em
married to a Yankee sailor 
C
the fare is paid across the sea 
     Em                         
to the home of the brave and the 
D
land of the free 
C                       D
From west to east the young girls 
came 
G               Em
all aboard the Bridal Train 
C
it was a farewell crossing over land

                       D      G
she's gone to meet her sailor man 

[Verse]
No time for sad goodbyes
she held her mother as she cried
and then waited there in the Freo 
rain
to climb aboard the Bridal Train
well She was holding her future in 
her hands
a faded photo of a man
catch a sailor if you can
the war bride leaves her southern 
land

[Chorus]
C               D
All the girls around Australia 
G            Em
married to a Yankee sailor 
C
the fare is paid across the sea 
     Em                         
to the home of the brave and the 
D
land of the free 
C                       D
From west to east the young girls 
came 
G               Em
all aboard the Bridal Train 
C
it was a farewell crossing over land

                       D      G
she's gone to meet her sailor man 

[Bridge]
This is the story of those starry 
nights
through desert plains and city 
lights
through burning sun and driving rain
she wept aboard the Bridal Train

[Chorus]
C               D
All the girls around Australia 
G            Em
married to a Yankee sailor 
C
the fare is paid across the sea 
     Em                         
to the home of the brave and the 
D
land of the free 
C                       D
From west to east the young girls 
came 
G               Em
all aboard the Bridal Train 
C
it was a farewell crossing over land

                       D      G
she's gone to meet her sailor man
