Take a Cutting
by Norma O'Hara Murphy

This is in the Key of A, however I prefer it using G+G Chords with a capo for key shifting purposes.
Feel free to transpose using the site to change to open A augmentedA chords.

All the verses are played using a single slow strum per chord, the chorus' are a DD UDU strum pattern (Roughly).

Capo on the 2nd Fret
Intro: G+G (With Harmonica)

              C majorC
We?re at Flemington for the Melbourne Cup
    D MajorD        G+G
And the race is well in hand
   G+G         C majorC
When all of a sudden a cheer goes up
    D MajorD        G+G
From the members in the stand
 G+G        C majorC
I strain to get a better look
  D MajorD        G+G
To see what is the cause
   G+G        C majorC
But Auntie?s seen the roses (Gasp)
     D MajorD      G+G
And she?s got the secateurs

Chorus:
     C majorC        G+G
To take a cutting, take a cutting
                    D MajorD
Oh that looks really nice let?s get a cutting
  C majorC        G+G
It just might grow, you never know
   D MajorD       G+G
I?ll take a little cutting


     G+G       C majorC
Now we?ve often tried to tell her
    D MajorD      G+G
That it really isn?t right
G+G      C majorC
Sneaking into gardens
    D MajorD      G+G
in the middle of the night
G+G          C majorC
But she just says, ?Don?t worry,
  D MajorD        G+G
It?s really not that bad.
G+G         C majorC    D MajorD        G+G
I always keep my secateurs hidden in my bag.?

Repeat Chorus:
     C majorC        G+G
To take a cutting, take a cutting
                    D MajorD
Oh that looks really nice let?s get a cutting
  C majorC        G+G
It just might grow, you never know
   D MajorD       G+G
I?ll take a little cutting


       G+G        C majorC
Now we?re on holidays in the national park
   D MajorD      G+G
We?re packing up to leave
     G+G       C majorC
When the ranger comes a running
     D MajorD       G+G
And he?s looking pretty peeved
    G+G         C majorC
You must come and get your auntie
D MajorD        G+G
Before I call the law
      G+G         C majorC
Cause she?s out among the tree ferns
D MajorD            G+G
With a bloody great chainsaw


Repeat Chorus:
     C majorC        G+G
To take a cutting, take a cutting
                    D MajorD
Oh that looks really nice let?s get a cutting
  C majorC        G+G
It just might grow, you never know
   D MajorD       G+G
I?ll take a little cutting


     C majorC        G+G
We?ll take a cutting, take a cutting
                    D MajorD
Oh that looks really nice let?s get a cutting
  C majorC           G+G
It just might grow, you never know
   D MajorD       G+G
I?ll take a little cutting

  C majorC           G+G
It just might grow, you never know
   D MajorD       G+G
I?ll take a little cutting


Outro: C majorC D MajorD G+G
