At Lightning Ridge Acordes

[Intro]
G   A   G   D
 
[Verse 1]
G             D
Don't ask any questions
      G                D
Don't snoop around his claim
         G                    D       A
He'll be out with a dog and a shotgun
G                   D
Who knows what he's hiding
   G                D
Or why he makes his stand
G                D
Men like him are buried alive
     A
With opals in their hands
 
[Verse 2]
          G                D
Well they say he came from Lismore
G                   D
That's about all we know
   G                  D
He came for a weekend only
A
Twenty years ago
        G                   D
Well he must have had money in the bank
        G                     D
Or he's found a lot more than potch
    G              D
For every month he sends a cab
     A
For another case of scotch
 
[Chorus]
       G               D
He's a dreamer, he's a drinker
  G             D
A bull ant in a hole
       G               D
He's a schemer, he's a thinker
A
He's a lonely soul
     G               D
He's gouging for the opal
       G           D
Like a wombat or a mole
G                A         G      D
Way out there at Lightning Ridge

[Verse 3]
G              D
Down below the leopardwood
  G             D
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]
           G           D
Well, it's not about a fancy car
     G             D
It's not about the cash
     G                    D
They passed the hat for a swimming pool
    A
And built it in a flash
         G             D
No, it's all about the opal
    G              D
You get it in your eye
    G                D
You see a glimpse of heaven
     A
With angels in the sky
 
[Chorus]
             G                 D
And you're a dreamer, you're a drinker
  G             D
A bull ant in a hole
         G                 D
You're a schemer, you're a thinker
A
You're a lonely soul
       G               D
You're gouging for the opal
       G           D
Like a wombat or a mole
G                A         G      D
Way out there at Lightning Ridge    (sing with me)
       G               D
He's a dreamer, he's a drinker
  G             D
A bull ant in a hole
       G               D
He's a schemer, he's a thinker
A
He's a lonely soul
     G               D
He's gouging for the opal
       G           D
Like a wombat or a mole
G                A         G      D
Way out there at Lightning Ridge
