A Fire Of Gidgee Coal chords by Slim Dusty

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramA augmentedA

Verse:
     Chord diagramA augmentedA
By a warm electric heater,
     Chord diagramD MajorD
In a softly padded chair,
                          Chord diagramA augmentedA
In a lounge room brightly lighted
     Chord diagramE MajorE             Chord diagramA augmentedA
By a glowing chandelier.

Since my early days of drovin',
    Chord diagramD MajorD
The years have taken toll.
                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
But I somehow miss my swag wrap,
     Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.

       Chord diagramA augmentedA
When I wake from sleep each morning
    Chord diagramD MajorD
And ring my bedside bell,
                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
The maid brings me my breakfast,
        Chord diagramE MajorE                Chord diagramA augmentedA
And she fills my pipe as well.

There are cakes and sweetened coffee,
     Chord diagramD MajorD
On a tray of sparkling gold.
                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
But I miss black tea and damper,
     Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.

Instrumental:
Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramD MajorD   Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramA augmentedA

    Chord diagramA augmentedA
I'm driven out each evening
     Chord diagramD MajorD
By a chaffeur spruce and neat,
                               Chord diagramA augmentedA
Through the flowered parks and gardens
        Chord diagramE MajorE            Chord diagramA augmentedA
And the crowded city streets.

But I drift back through the ages,
          Chord diagramD MajorD
While the big car softly rolls.
                       Chord diagramA augmentedA
To a stock route and a wagonette,
      Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
And a fire of Gidgee coal.

    Chord diagramA augmentedA
I attend all social parties
       Chord diagramD MajorD
In the rich parts of town.
                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
Drinking wine from fancy glasses
       Chord diagramE MajorE                Chord diagramA augmentedA
As the waiters go their rounds.

But I'd rather share a bottle
           Chord diagramD MajorD
With those drovin' mates of old.
                   Chord diagramA augmentedA
In a pair of dusty moleskins,
     Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.

Yes I'd rather share a bottle
           Chord diagramD MajorD
With those drovin' mates of old.
                   Chord diagramA augmentedA
In a pair of dusty moleskins,
     Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA     Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramA augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.
