Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Ned[G] Ke[D]lly[A] ca[D]me
'round to [G]see me [D]today
I guess I was [G]dreaming,
[A]oh- oh- oh- oh
[D]Dumbfounded,
I couldn't [G]think what [D]to say
Oh- oh- [A]oh- oh- oh- oh[D][G][D]

[Verse 2]
I [G]beckoned him in, but [D]he shook his head
He said, [A]"I'm a bit grubby
and a bit poorly [D]bred
I'd [G]rather we yarned out
[D]the back in the shed
I can [A]leave m' boots on
that [D]way"
[G][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Well, he took a stiff whisky
and [G]laid down [D]his gun
He said, "I won't keep [G]you long,
[D]'ca[G]use I've got to [D]run[A]
[D]Got to ride to the mountains
be[G]fore [D]night is done"
[A]Oh- [D]oh- oh- oh- oh- oh

[Verse 4]
He said, [G]"Word's got around
'bout the mu[D]sic you play
[A]You truly believe in the fair
dinkum [D]way
That the [G]bush must remain
for our [D]spirit to stay
And [A]we must have a flag of
our [D]own"
[G][D][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
He said, "I learned long ago
when [G]I was still y[D]oung
Like the lizard [G]that spits
and sticks out his [A]tongue
[D]Oh, [A]the [D]way to get shot is
[G]to carry a gun[D]"
Oh- oh- [A]oh- oh- oh- oh[D]

[Verse 6]
"There's a [G]new world order",
[D]the leaders all shout
And [A]everyone's frantic they're
gonna miss [D]out
And the [G]red, white and blues
are still [D]marching about
Oh, [A]we must have a flag of our [D]own

[Interlude 1]

[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 7]
'Cause [G]this is Australia and
[D]that's where we're from
We're [A]not Yankee side- kicks
or second class [D]Poms
And [G]tell the Frogs what they
can [D]do with their bomb
And we [A]must have a flag of our [D]own

[Verse 8]
Yeah, [G]this is Australia and [D]that's
where we're from
We're [A]not Yankee side- kicks
or second class [D]Poms
And [G]tell the Frogs what they
can [D]do with their bomb
And we [A]must have a flag of our [D]own
