Verse:
A augmentedA
By a warm electric heater,
D MajorD
In a softly padded chair,
A augmentedA
In a lounge room brightly lighted
E MajorE A augmentedA
By a glowing chandelier.
Since my early days of drovin',
D MajorD
The years have taken toll.
A augmentedA
But I somehow miss my swag wrap,
E MajorE A augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.
A augmentedA
When I wake from sleep each morning
D MajorD
And ring my bedside bell,
A augmentedA
The maid brings me my breakfast,
E MajorE A augmentedA
And she fills my pipe as well.
There are cakes and sweetened coffee,
D MajorD
On a tray of sparkling gold.
A augmentedA
But I miss black tea and damper,
E MajorE A augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.
Instrumental:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
A augmentedA
I'm driven out each evening
D MajorD
By a chaffeur spruce and neat,
A augmentedA
Through the flowered parks and gardens
E MajorE A augmentedA
And the crowded city streets.
But I drift back through the ages,
D MajorD
While the big car softly rolls.
A augmentedA
To a stock route and a wagonette,
E MajorE A augmentedA
And a fire of Gidgee coal.
A augmentedA
I attend all social parties
D MajorD
In the rich parts of town.
A augmentedA
Drinking wine from fancy glasses
E MajorE A augmentedA
As the waiters go their rounds.
But I'd rather share a bottle
D MajorD
With those drovin' mates of old.
A augmentedA
In a pair of dusty moleskins,
E MajorE A augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.
Yes I'd rather share a bottle
D MajorD
With those drovin' mates of old.
A augmentedA
In a pair of dusty moleskins,
E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
By a fire of Gidgee coal.
