Buddy And Slim Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Thinkin' [D]about Buddy and [G]Slim
And Stan Cost[D]er [G]too
And [C]all those pioneers,
before the tar came [G]through
Before rock and [C]roll
Before the hip hoo[G]ray
[D]Thinkin' about the trail they blazed
and the songs they [G]made

[Verse 2]
Stan was short of a [G]quid
And the pub had [D]no [G]beer
[C]The rain tumbled down in July,
and we [G]had a good year
We had a drink with [C]Shorty
At Three [G]Rivers [C]Hotel[G]
[D]There was Smoky and Tex and Chad,
and Rick [G]and Thel

[Verse 3]
There was Banjo and Henry
And all [D]their [G]peers
They [C]wondered what an Aussie would
be in a [G]hundred years
Will they keep our ro[C]mance?
With the [G]bush, [C]out [G]there
[D]And I must admit, I wonder,

[Interlude 1]
will we still care?
[G][Cm][Eb][Ab][Eb][Ab][Db]

[Verse 4]
It's all about [Ab]how
The world [Eb]can [Ab]change
[Db]But maybe not so much,
the other side of the [Ab]range
There will always be [Db]battlers
That feel right at [Ab]home
[Eb]Out there where the white- faced cattle roam
[Ab]

[Verse 5]
A fire of Gidgee Coals
Will keep [Eb]us w[Ab]arm
It'll [Db]rain on the Diamantina and
the birds will [Ab]swarm
We'll boil a [Db]billy
And admire [Ab]the stars
[Eb]Sing about droughts and floods
and apricots in jars
[Ab]

[Verse 6]
The songs will [Db]live
And I'll tell [Ab]you why
[Eb]The spirit of the bush will never [Ab]die

[Outro 1]
