Slim Dusty - When a boy from alabama meets a girl from gundagai - a little boy called smiley - a town like alice

When a ^Eboy from Alabama, meets a ^F#girl from Gundagai, Winter ^B7turns into spring, and the birds start to sing A ^Esweet lullaby.

Then the boy from Alabama, tells the ^F#girl from Gundagai that be^B7lieve it or not, he just likes her a lot. A ^Esilver lining's ^B7in the ^Esky.

^EPretty soon they’re strolling out together, a ^Anew day has begun. ^F#Life is just a bunch of sunny weather, and ^B7troubles like ^F#bubbles go one by ^B7one.

When a ^Eboy from Alabama, meets a ^F#girl from Gundagai all the ^B7world is in tune and a sweet honeymoon will ^Ehappen in the ^B7by and ^Eby.

^EWhose happy ^Asmile makes your ^Eheart feel ^Abrighter? ^E a little ^Fdimboy called S^F#mmiley. ^{B7 F#m}Who makes the ^B7cares of the ^F#mday seem ^B7lighter? ^F#m that freckled ^B7faced young ^ESmiley.

^AbThough at first, you’d think the worst and ^C#7say that he looks a disgrace. yet ^F#when he grins that cheeky grin you ^B7don’t seem to ^C#/Fknow he's a ^F#mdirty ^B7face.

^EWho leaves the ^Akids when there’s ^Emischief ^Abrewing? ^E that barefoot ^Fdimboy called ^F#mSmiley. ^{B7 F#m}Who gets the ^B7blame when there’s ^F#something ^B7ruined? it's ^ASmiley every ^Abtime. but he ^C#makes you forget you are wild. with his ^F#cute irresistible ^Gdimsmile every ^Edad would be ^Aglad if he ^E7had ^Eb7a ^D7lad ^C#7like ^F# that little ^B7boy called Smi^Eley.

A ^Gmtown^C like ^FAlice is ^Gmjust the place for ^Fme. with my ^Dmown piece of ^Amground, the ^Dmmountains ^Amaround that’s ^Gwhere I’d ^C7be. Don't ^Gmneed^C a ^Fpalace ^Gmjust want a simple ^Fhome. with the ^Dmblue sky a^Ambove and ^Dmsomeone to ^Amlove I’d ^Gmne-^C7ver ^Froam

^FGive me a cluster of ^Eb7roofs that shine in the ^D7midday sun. a ^Gmquiet ^C7out on the ^Fveranda when my ^G7days’ work is ^Gmdone. I ^Gmmight^C like ^FDallas; I'll ^Gmvisit ^Cgay Pa^Free. but when ^DmI settle ^Amdown, it ^Dmmust be a ^Amtown like ^GmAlice^C7 for ^Fme.
