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]
E
I'll take you where the dingoes howl
E
Way beyond the mallee fowl
E
Beyond the plover and stubble quail
B E
Where the mulga sticks are ringing
[Chorus]
A
Where the shimmer slows you down
E
And you'll find the time to dream
B
To open up your heart
E
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
B E
If you think of Mataranka
[Verse 4]
E
And take someone to hold you tight
E
The earth will keep you warm at night
E
You've never seen the stars so bright
B E
Follow the map with your finger
[Chorus]
A
Where the shimmer slows you down
E
And you'll find the time to dream
B
To open up your heart
E
To the beauty of the land
A
Where the shimmer slows you down
E
And you'll find the time to dream
B
To open up your heart
E
To the spirit of the land
B
To open up your heart
A Am E
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]
D C G D C G
Well I couldn't wait to walk in my old man's shoes and what more could I ask?
D C G D C G
To head off with my biscuit tin, black tea in a thermos flask
D C G D C G
To learn to plough a real straight line and learn to be alone
D C G D C G D C G
In ever diminishing circles solve problems on my own
[Bridge]
Em C D Em C D
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
Em C D Em C D
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]
D C G D C G
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
D C G D C G
They say it builds your character, good women and good men
D C G D C G
Who turn around when the crop has failed and sow it all again
[Verse 4]
D C G D C G
So hold on tight you cockies, I know the feeling well
D C G D C G
If you couldn't save the family farm then you'd rather go to hell
D C G D C G
No one will share your burden, no one will share the blame
D C G D C G
And my heart goes out to the families of the farming game
[Solo]
D C G
D C G
[Outro]
D C G D C G
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]
G
She was comfortable with him
C
She thought he was with her
G D
But he had an itch she couldn't scratch
G
So they went their separate ways
C
The weeks turned into days
G D G
And he couldn't do a thing but think of her
[Chorus]
C D G
He got the seven year itch six years too early
C D G
At eighteen they hadn't seen that much of life
C D G
In a small country town they grew up in
C D G
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]
C D G
He got the seven year itch six years too early
C D G
At eighteen they hadn't seen that much of life
C D G
In a small country town they grew up in
C D G
Where her biggest dream was to be this fella's wife
[Solo]
Am D G C
C D G
[Chorus]
C D G
He got the seven year itch six years too early
C D G
At eighteen they hadn't seen that much of life
C D G
In a small country town they grew up in
C D Em C D G C G
Where her biggest dream was to be this fella's wife

You don't love me anymore

Just waiting for the rain
Gm
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

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?
D G D
Did you laugh at our pettiness with your pump and tyre tight
G A G D G A G D
You left us with a bump in the night
[Verse 2]
D G D
Bill was hard to undertstand, a language of his own
G D A
A man so much alone, no family
D G D
He was onto something, his joy was plain to see
G A G D G A G D
I wish he could have passed it onto me
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Bill had no funeral, he's just a ghost today
G D
His pump was his tombstone
G A G D G A G D
They threw his buckled bicycle away
G Bm A
The little town closed ranks, the constable was wise
G D G D
The driver drowns his sorrows when he turns out the light
G A G D
He still hears the bump in the night
G Bm A
Drink another brandy boys and pour another beer
G D
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
G A G D G A G D
Just throw his buckled bicycle away
G Bm A
A vivid boyhood memory, I can't forget the day
G D
This will be his epitaph
G A G D
They threw his buckled bicycle away
[Solo]
D G D G D A
D G D
[Outro]
G A G D
They threw his buckled bicycle away
6. All Steamy
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C F
Hey I've been on the road, through a sandy river
C G
A million miles of dirt, a skinny cow
C F
The bush where I wander, only makes me fonder
C G C
I guess you ought to know by now
[Verse 2]
C F
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]
F C
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
G C
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
F C
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
G C
And I want to stay all night long
[Solo]
F C G C
F C G C
[Verse 3]
C F
Yeah I've been on a camel train through the Blue Mountains
C G
Down the hill and into city lights
C F
I really don't remember on automatic pilot
C G C
All I had was you in my sights
[Chorus]
F C
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
G C
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
F C
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
G C
And I want to stay all night long
[Solo]
F C G C
F C G C
[Verse 4]
C F
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
C G C
But really underneath I'm alone
[Chorus]
F C
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
G C
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
F C
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
G C
And I want to stay all night long
F C
So call it false pretences, no feeling for your senses
G C
Didn't come around tonight to sing a song
F C
I've just had a shower and I'm feeling all steamy
G C
And I want to stay all night long
[Solo]

14. At Lightning Ridge
[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
[Solo]
G D G D
G D A
G D G D
G A G D
[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

He's a lonely soul

He's gouging for the opal

A
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
D E A
No time for whingeing when you're quick
[Chorus]
D E
With ragged knees and aching backs

Monotonous buckets, monotonous racks
