1. Aussie Balladeer
[Verse 1]
N.C.
I'm just an Aussie balladeer
N.C.
I've been on the road for many a year
N.C.
I'll have a joke and I'll have a beer
N.C. E
But I'm happiest when I'm singing
[Verse 2]
I'll take you where the dingoes howl
E
Way beyond the mallee fowl
Beyond the plover and stubble quail
Where the mulga sticks are ringing
[Chorus]
Where the shimmer slows you down
And you'll find the time to dream
To open up your heart
To the beauty of the land
[Solo]
A E B E
[Verse 3]
E
Park the truck at a shady spot
E
Find some gidgee and boil the pot
E
Take it easy, it's not so hot
If you think of Mataranka
[Verse 4]
And take someone to hold you tight
The earth will keep you warm at night
You've never seen the stars so bright
B E
Follow the map with your finger
[Chorus]
Where the shimmer slows you down
And you'll find the time to dream
To open up your heart
To the beauty of the land
Where the shimmer slows you down
And you'll find the time to dream
To open up your heart
To the spirit of the land
To open up your heart
To the spirit of the land
2. The Farming Game
[Verse 1]
D C G D C G
Winter time dad came home, dirty diesel and rust
D C G D C G
Pearly whites like diamonds, smiling through the dust
D C G D C G
Yummy mutton and pumpkin for a hungry gutted crew
D C G D C G
We knew mum loved us all to death and we all loved her too
[Verse 2]
Well I couldn't wait to walk in my old man's shoes and what more could I ask?
To head off with my biscuit tin, black tea in a thermos flask
To learn to plough a real straight line and learn to be alone
In ever diminishing circles solve problems on my own
[Bridge]
Now it's considered normal to pass your acres down
G C Em C D
But if you've got more children well you try to buy more ground
So you borrow heaps of money just to give your kids a go
Em C D C D C G
After all that's said and done, you taught 'em all you know
[Solo]
Em C D
Em C D
G C Em C
C D
Em C D
Em C D
Em C D C D C G
After all that's said and done, you taught 'em all you know
[Verse 3]
Now there were days we nearly sold with frost and then a drought
D C G D C G
Easier ways to make a quid would sort the young ones out
They say it builds your character, good women and good men
Who turn around when the crop has failed and sow it all again
[Verse 4]
So hold on tight you cockies, I know the feeling well
If you couldn't save the family farm then you'd rather go to hell
No one will share your burden, no one will share the blame
And my heart goes out to the families of the farming game
[Solo]
D C G
D C G
[Outro]
Yes my heart goes out to the families of the farming game
3. Seven Year Itch (Capo on 1st fret)
[Intro]
C D
C D G
[Verse 1]
She was comfortable with him
C
She thought he was with her
G D
But he had an itch she couldn't scratch
So they went their separate ways
The weeks turned into days
G D G
And he couldn't do a thing but think of her
[Chorus]
He got the seven year itch six years too early
At eighteen they hadn't seen that much of life
In a small country town they grew up in
Where her biggest dream was to be this fella's wife
[Bridge]
Am D
It's the same old story
G
Just a different tune
C D G
A poor girl in love with a wedding gown
Am D
A good looking fella
G C
Just a country boy
C D G
Too wet behind the ears to settle down
[Chorus]
He got the seven year itch six years too early
At eighteen they hadn't seen that much of life
In a small country town they grew up in
Where her biggest dream was to be this fella's wife
[Solo]
Am D G C
C D G
[Chorus]
He got the seven year itch six years too early
At eighteen they hadn't seen that much of life
In a small country town they grew up in
Where her biggest dream was to be this fella's wife
4. River Crying Out
[Verse 1]
I'm just a river crying out
Bb F
You don't love me anymore
You float your boats and bottles
And spew out on my shore
[Chorus]
You don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
[Verse 2]
Bb C
Just a river crying out
Bb F
You don't drink me anymore
Splash about and swim me
F Gm
Like you did before
[Chorus]
You don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
[Solo]
Bb C
Bb F
F Eb
F Gm
Gm F
F Gm
[Verse 3]
I've given all I can
My love has been a flood
Flowing through the country
F Gm
Am I not your blood
Just waiting for the rain
To wash the poison in my veins
[Chorus]
No you don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
[Solo]
F Gm
F Gm
[Chorus]
You don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
No you don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
You don't love me anymore
5. The Buckled Bicycle (Capo on 1st fret)
[Intro]
D G D G A G D
[Verse 1]
D G D
Bill you were a friend of mine, a gentleman indeed
G D A
On your two wheel steed, did you ever cry?
Did you laugh at our pettiness with your pump and tyre tight
You left us with a bump in the night
[Verse 2]
D G D
Bill was hard to undertstand, a language of his own
A man so much alone, no family
D G D
He was onto something, his joy was plain to see
I wish he could have passed it onto me
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Bill had no funeral, he's just a ghost today
His pump was his tombstone
They threw his buckled bicycle away
The little town closed ranks, the constable was wise
The driver drowns his sorrows when he turns out the light
He still hears the bump in the night
G Bm A
Drink another brandy boys and pour another beer
After all he was a simpleton
G A G D
Was he really here?
[Solo]
D G D G D A
D G D G A G D
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Plant him in the limestone with his little bag of gear
G D
Keep his pump, that's ok
Just throw his buckled bicycle away
A vivid boyhood memory, I can't forget the day
G D
This will be his epitaph
They threw his buckled bicycle away
[Solo]
D G D G D A
D G D
[Outro]
They threw his buckled bicycle away
6. All Steamy
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Hey I've been on the road, through a sandy river
A million miles of dirt, a skinny cow
The bush where I wander, only makes me fonder
I guess you ought to know by now
[Verse 2]
Yeah I've been bogged in sand, travelling with the band
C G
Way out beyond the prickle farms
C F
Seen the Warrumbungles, been through some jungles
C G C
Wishing I was tangled in your arms
[Chorus]
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
And I want to stay all night long
[Solo]
F C G C
F C G C
[Verse 3]
Yeah I've been on a camel train through the Blue Mountains
C G
Down the hill and into city lights
I really don't remember on automatic pilot
C G C
All I had was you in my sights
[Chorus]
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
And I want to stay all night long
[Solo]
F C G C
F C G C
[Verse 4]
From town to town, from mulga to mangoes
C G
Towel and bar of soap in every room
C F
Jammin' with the boys and making music
But really underneath I'm alone
[Chorus]
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
And I want to stay all night long
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
And I want to stay all night long
[Solo]

8. Last Night A Love Song
[Intro]
C Dm G F C
[Chorus]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
You came around and brought me the news
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
[Verse 1]
It wasn't my day, I should have stayed in bed
Or gone to the football and got drunk instead
But I was home in my dancing shoes
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
[Break]

[Chorus]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
You came around and brought me the news
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
[Solo]
C Dm G F C

[Verse 2]
I should have read my cards or my horoscope
Yesterday's sunshine gave me some hope
I had it all planned, all ready to cruise
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
[Break]
G F C
[Chorus]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
You came around and brought me the news
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
Last night a love song, this morning the blues
Last night a love song, this morning the blues

I don't want a thing for Christmas
I already have your love
Just be here beside me in the summer

Surely that's more than enough
Come out on the porch, hear them singing
I think I can hear Noel
Just feeling the spirit of Christmas
On the night we remember well

14. At Lightning Ridge
[Intro]
G A G D
[Verse 1]
G D
Don't ask any questions
Don't snoop around his claim
He'll be out with a dog and a shotgun
G D
Who knows what he's hiding
Or why he makes his stand
G D
Men like him are buried alive
With opals in their hands
[Verse 2]
Well they say he came from Lismore
G D
That's about all we know
He came for a weekend only
A
Twenty years ago
Well he must have had money in the bank
Or he's found a lot more than potch
For every month he sends a cab
For another case of scotch
[Chorus]
He's a dreamer, he's a drinker
A bull ant in a hole
He's a schemer, he's a thinker
A
He's a lonely soul
He's gouging for the opal
Like a wombat or a mole
G A G D
Way out there at Lightning Ridge
[Solo]
G D G D
G D A
G D G D
G A G D
[Verse 3]
G D
Down below the leopardwood
Below the bimblebox
G D A
Get your thrill on lunatic hill
G D
Flashes of dancing colour
G D
Green and gold and red
G D
Mix it with black and you're on your back
A
Digging until you're dead
[Verse 4]
Well, it's not about a fancy car
It's not about the cash
They passed the hat for a swimming pool
And built it in a flash
No, it's all about the opal
You get it in your eye
You see a glimpse of heaven
With angels in the sky
[Chorus]
And you're a dreamer, you're a drinker
A bull ant in a hole
You're a schemer, you're a thinker
A
You're a lonely soul
You're gouging for the opal
Like a wombat or a mole
G A G D
Way out there at Lightning Ridge (sing with me)
He's a dreamer, he's a drinker
A bull ant in a hole
He's a schemer, he's a thinker
A
He's a lonely soul
He's gouging for the opal
Like a wombat or a mole

Way out there at Lightning Ridge

15. Pickin’ On Murray
[Verse 1]
The regulars turn up every year
With the wife and kids and picking gear
A
Some will try it and give it away
You've got to be tough enough to stay

Well Molly rolls up in the caravan
With another kid and dear old Nan
A
Mike strolls in, we give him a tease
D E A
Old socks wrapped around his knees
[Chorus]
D E
Dust up your nose, flies in your face

Cuts and bruises all over the place

[Verse 3]
A
No time now for a second cup
D E
Heads all down and bottoms up
If your legs are sore give them a rub
And dream about the Wentworth Club
[Verse 4]
Yes, it's picking time down on the Murray
D E
Some real steady, some in a hurry
A
Everyone's into it, watch the gun pick
No time for whingeing when you're quick
[Chorus]
With ragged knees and aching backs
Monotonous buckets, monotonous racks
Monotonous heat, monotonous grapes
F#m E A
Fading batteries, monotonous tapes
[Solo]
D E A A/G# A/F# A/E
D E F#m E A
[Verse 5]
Now the Sunraysia blockies are a marvellous crew
They treat us all to a barbecue
With grapes all picked we drink a beer
To the dear old friends we'll see next year
[Chorus]
D E
Dust up your nose, flies in your face
A A/G# A/F# A/E
Cuts and bruises all over the place

Smoko at last, find some shade
