Take a Cutting
by Norma O'Hara Murphy

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

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

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


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


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


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


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


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

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