Slim Dusty - Singer from down under

^CI'm a sin^Fger from down under and it isn't any wonder ^CThat I like^G a can or two of tooheys old I've ^Dsung my way about, from the bush to the opera house And tomo^Grrow's just another town to show

^CBush ballads are m^Fy life oh I sing 'em all the time ^CStories o^Gf our people and our land

And it's h^Celped me such a lot to understand Hey I'm a s^Finger from down under on the move Oh I like the life I'm livin' given under skies of bl^Gue ^FMay the Southern Cross in freedom ever sh^Cine ^{A F}My song is for Australia every ^Ctime

^CI was never really lazy, but the neighbour^Fs thought me crazy ^CCause I dreamed about a life of travellin' roun^Gd A drea^Dm that made me move, seemed the natural thing to do So at twenty^G one I finally left the land

Some said '^Ctwas rather risky but I m^Farried in the fifties An^Cd in ^G1954 we hit the road We went out for a 3 month trial, but that cagin' country mile Has forever si^Cnce just kept us on the go

Hey I'm a s^Finger from down under on the move Oh I like the life I'm livin' given under skies of blu^Ge May ^Fthe Southern Cross in freedom ever s^Chine ^{A F}My song is for Australia^G7 every t^Cime, my frien^Ads ^FMy song is for Australi^Ga every

^Ctime^Am. ^{F G C}
