A Pub With No Beer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Oh, [C]lonesome away
from your [F]kindred and all
By the [G]campfire at night,
we'll hear the wild dingoes [C]call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome,
[F]morbid or drear
Than to [G]stand in the bar,
of a pub with no [C]beer
Now the publican's anxious,
for the [F]quota to come
And there's a [G]faraway look,
on the face of the [C]bum
The maid's gone all cranky,
and the [F]cook's acting queer
Oh, what a [G]terrible place is a pub with no [C]beer

[Verse 2]
Then the [C]stockman rides up,
with his [F]dry dusty throat
He breasts [G]up to the bar,
and pulls a wad from his [C]coat
But the smile on his face,
quickly [F]turns to a sneer
As the [G]barman said sadly,
the pubs got no [C]beer
Then the swaggie comes in,
smothered [F]in dust and flies
He [G]throws down his roll
and rubs the sweat from his [C]eyes
But when he is told,
he says, [F]"What's this I hear?
I've trudged [G]fifty flamin' miles
to a pub with no [C]beer"

[Verse 3]
Now there's a [C]dog on the v'randah,
for his [F]master he waits
But the [G]boss is inside,
drinking wine with his [C]mates
He hurries for cover and he [F]cringes in fear
It's no [G]place for a dog,
round a pub with no [C]beer
And old Billy the blacksmith,
the first [F]time in his life
Why he's [G]gone home cold sober,
to his darling [C]wife
He walks in the kitchen,
she says "You're [F]early, Bill dear"
But then he [G]breaks down and tells her,
the pubs got no [C]beer

[Verse 4]
Oh, it's [C]hard to believe
that there's [F]customers still
But the [G]money's still tinkling
in the old ancient [C]till
The wine dots are happy
and I [F]know they're sincere
When they [G]say they don't care
if the pub's got no [C]beer

[Outro 1]
So it's-a [C]lonesome away
from your [F]kindred and all
By the [G]campfire at night,
we'll hear the wild dingoes [C]call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome,
[F]morbid or drear
Than to [G]stand in the bar
of that pub with no [C]beer
[F][C][C]
