I'm Still Here To Give It My Best Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, over the years of my lifetime
I've covered the breadth of this [C]land
From the [D]shores of the shimmering [Em]oceans
To [A]deserts of saltbush and [D]sand
And [G]people will often ask me,
isn't it time for a [C]rest?
Well, the road is my home
and it's [G]all that [Em]I've known
And I'm [D]still [A]here [D]to give it my [G]be st
Well, I started out as a young man
with just a guitar and a [C]song
I [D]sang of the bush and its [Em]hardships
The [A]home of the brave and the [D]strong
And I [G]played in the halls and the sideshows
I played to the folk way out [C]west
For the road is my home
and it's [G]all that I've [Em]known
And I'm [D]still here to give it my [G]be st
Mike [C]Carradine[G][Em][D][G]
Well, time brought a woman [D]to [G]love me
I soon had a family in [C]tow
We [D]travelled the plains of the [Em]outback
A [A]travelling musical show
[D]And we wea[G]thered the hard
and the lean times
Together as onward we [C]pressed
For the road is my home
and it's [G]all that I've [Em]known
And I'm [D]still here to give it my [G]be st
So give me the flies and the red dust
Give me the tall wavy [C]frame
[D]Give me the shimmering [Em]heat haze,
I'll [A]face it all gladly again
[D]And I'll sin[G]g my old songs
and say thank you
to all who have made me their [C]guest
For the road is my home
and it's [G]all that I've [Em]known
And I'm [D]still here to give it my [G]best
Yes, the [C]road is my home
and it's [G]all that I've [Em]known
But I'm [D]still here to give
it my [C]be [G]st
Thank you very much indeed
We'd like to call
on a couple of people now
that have been singing a
long time.
They've been singing professionally
long before I started,
so that's a hell of a long time.
That really dates them,
doesn't it? Yeah.
But anyway,
they've had radio programs
and they've been travelling all around the country all their lives. So they've
developed a very special type of yodelling.
It's called harmony yodelling.
So let's give a big hand now
to the great talents
of the fabulous McKean Sisters.
Here they are right now.
