Country Balladeer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Wil[D]l you ever stop singing Chad,
old mate
Do you think you might re[A]tire
Lie right back in grandpa's chair
In front of the open [D]fire
When you reach the 70's, Chad
I thought that might be [G]it
You're just like a [D]young bloke
[A]Champing at [D]the bit

[Verse 2]
[D]
I'll never retire John, old mate
This stage I'll never [A]leave
I'll push out another song, old mate
As long as I [D]can breathe
As long as there's a sunrise
I'll always tune [G]me throat
As long as the fish are bit[D]ing, mate
I'll [A]never leave [D]the boat
Ah that's [G]what it's like to be

[Verse 3]
[G]
[D]a Country Balladeer
It'll [G]never up and leave you [D]lonely
There's [G]nothing new about it
It's like [D]old Uluru
So [A]don't you go changing, mate
I'll thump you if you [D]do

[Verse 4]
[D]Do you think you'll drop the guitar,
John
Leave it in [A]the case
Head into the hills and disappear
without [D]a trace
If you reach a hundred albums, mate
They'll tell you that's [G]enough
No you'll be just [D]the same as me
An[A]d I don't give a[D] stuff

[Verse 5]
You've hit [D]the nail on the head,
Chad
You've got me to [A]a tee
I'm part of the guitar
And it's a part [D]of me
No matter where I go, Chad
I've got it in [G]the ute
Call me one- track [D]minded
[A]I don't g[D]ive a[G][D][G]
[D][G][D][A]
[D][G]
[D]hoo[G]t[D][G]
