Simplificar Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: EbCapotraste: 1st traste || Chords relative to Capo 1. [Intro] E A7 D [Verse] D A7 When the caravans of woolteams climbed the ranges from the West, D G D On a spur among the mountains stood 'The Bullock-drivers' Rest'; G D It was built of barks and saplings, and was rather rough inside, E A7 But was good enough for bushmen in the careless days that died G D B7 Just a quiet little shanty kept by 'Something-in-Disguise', E A7 D As the bushmen called the landlord of the Shanty on the Rise. [Verse] D A7 'Twas the bullock driver's haven when his team was on the road, D G D And the wagon wheels were groaning as they ploughed beneath the load; G D I remember how the teamsters struggled on while it was light, E A7 Just to camp within a cooey of the Shanty for the night; G D B7 And I think the very bullocks raised their heads and fixed their eyes E A7 D On the candles in the window of the Shanty on the Rise. [Verse] G D And the bullock bells were clanking from the marshes on the flats G D A7 As we hurried to the Shanty, where we hung our dripping hats; G D Then we took a drop of something that was bought at our desire, E A7 As we stood with steaming moleskins in the kitchen by the fire. G D B7 Oh, it roared upon a fireplace of the good, old-fashioned size, E A7 D When the rain came down the chimney of the Shanty on the Rise. [Interlude] E A7 D [Verse] D A7 They got up a Christmas party in the Shanty long ago, D G D While we camped with Jimmy Nowlett on the riverbank below; G D Poor old Jim was in his glory — they'd elected him M.C., E A7 For there wasn't such another raving lunatic as he. G D B7 'Mr. Dowlett, Mr. Dusty!' shouted Something-in-Disguise, E A7 D As we walked into the parlour of the Shanty on the Rise. [Verse] D A7 Jimmy came to me and whispered, oh I muttered, 'Go along!' D G D But he shouted, 'Mr. Dusty will oblige us with a song!' G D And at first I said I wouldn't, and I shammed a little too, E A7 Till the girls began to whisper, 'We're all waiting now for you!' G D B7 So I sang a song of something 'bout the love that never dies, E A7 D And the chorus shook the rafters of the Shanty on the Rise. [Verse] G D Jimmy burst his concertina, and the bullock drivers went G D A7 For the corpse of Joe the Fiddler, who was sleeping in his tent; G D Joe was tired and had lumbago, and he wouldn't come, he said, E A7 But the case was very urgent, so they pulled him out of bed; G D B7 And they fetched him, for the bushmen knew that Something-in-Disguise E A7 D Had a cure for Joe's lumbago in the Shanty on the Rise. [Interlude] E A7 D [Verse] D A7 I suppose the Shanty vanished from the ranges long ago, D G D And the girls are mostly married to the chaps I used to know; G D My old mates are in the distance — some have crossed the border-line, E A7 But in fancy still their glasses clink against the rim of mine. G D B7 And, upon the very centre of the greenest spot that lies E A7 D In my fondest recollection, stands the Shanty on the Rise. [Tag] E A7 D G D In my fondest recollection, stands the Shanty on the Rise.
