Original version is slower, otherwise there doesn't seem to be any difference.
Time signature: 3/4
Each chord goes for 2 bars (6 beats) except the G* and C* which go for 1 bar each (3 beats)
Between verses, the C can be strummed at length as desired
[Verse 1]
Oh it's Clonesome away from your Fkindred and all
By the Gcampfire at night where the G*wild dingoes C*call
But there's Cnothin' so lonesome, Fmorbid or drear
Than to Gstand in the bar of a G*pub with no Cbeer
[Verse 2]
Now the Cpublican's anxious for the Fquota to come
There's a Gfaraway look on the G*face of the C*bum
The Cmaid's gone all cranky and the Fcook's acting queer
What a Gterrible place is a G*pub with no Cbeer
[Verse 3]
The Cstockman rides up with his Fdry, dusty throat
He breasts Gup to the bar, pulls a G*wad from his C*coat
But the Csmile on his face quickly Fturns to a sneer
When the Gbarman says sadly, 'The G*pub's got no Cbeer'
[Verse 4]
Then Cin comes the swagman, all Fcovered with flies
He Gthrows down his roll, wipes the G*sweat from his C*eyes
But Cwhen he is told he says, 'FWhat's this I hear?
I've trudged Gfifty flamin' miles to a G*pub with no Cbeer!'
[Verse 5]
There's a Cdog on the v'randah, for his Fmaster he waits
But the Gboss is inside drinking G*wine with his C*mates
He Churries for cover and he Fcringes in fear
It's no Gplace for a dog round a G*pub with no Cbeer
[Verse 6]
Old CBilly, the blacksmith, the first Ftime in his life
Has Ggone home cold sober to G*his darling C*wife
He Cwalks in the kitchen; she says: "You're Fearly, my dear"
Then he Gbreaks down and he tells her that the G*pub's got no Cbeer
[Verse 1] (repeat)
So it's Clonesome away from your Fkindred and all
By the Gcampfire at night where the G*wild dingoes C*call
But there's Cnothin' so lonesome, Fmorbid or drear
Than to Gstand in the bar of a G*pub with no Cbeer
