C Bm Am F G C
[Verse]
C F
I'm a singer from down under and it isn't any wonder
C G
That I like a can or two of tooheys old
D
I've sung my way about, from the bush to the opera house
G
And tomorrow's just another town to show
C F
Bush ballads are my life oh I sing 'em all the time
C G
Stories of our people and our land
Spent a lot of time at home, cause I was country born
C
And it's helped me such a lot to understand
F
Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move
G
Oh I like the life I'm livin' given under skies of blue
F C A
May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine
F C
My song is for Australia every time
[Instrumental]
C F C A F G C
C F
I was never really lazy, but the neighbours thought me crazy
C G
Cause I dreamed about a life of travellin' round
D
A dream that made me move, seemed the natural thing to do
G
So at twenty one I finally left the land
C F
Some said 'twas rather risky but I married in the fifties
C G
And in 1954 we hit the road
We went out for a 3 month trial, but that cagin' country mile
C
Has forever since just kept us on the go
F
Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move
G
Oh I like the life I'm livin' given under skies of blue
F C A
May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine
F G7 C A
My song is for Australia every time, my friends
F G
My song is for Australia every
C Am F G C
time.
