Chords with lyrics
Slim Dusty West of Winton
Capo 2nd Fret
G+G 
D MajorD
His eyes were used to distance and he talked much with his hands
D MajorD G+G
I guess he sort of felt hemmed in a stranger to this land
G+G D MajorD
And a lifestyle of another time, another time and place
D MajorD G+G
Was written there deep in the lines of this old bushmans face
G+G D MajorD
His attire was still in keeping with the far out channel lands
D MajorD G+G
There was still a strength of character in his hard old bushman's hands
G+G D MajorD
And his old hat tilted forward was as much a part of him
D MajorD G+G
As the 80 years of livin' that showed, underneath the brim
Instrumental:
D MajorD G+G
G+G D MajorD
Just somewhere west of Winton mate is where I'd rather be
D MajorD G+G
To ride out in the dawn time, Mitchell to my horses knee
G+G D MajorD
Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten camp
D MajorD G+G
If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse stamp
G+G D MajorD
Just to see again the sunsets as the night falls on the land
D MajorD G+G
Oh the silent sound of beauty makes the proudest heart expand
G+G D MajorD
Where the lights of some old homestead beam a warm and welcome glow
G+G G+G
And no travellin' soul went hungry in those days of long ago
Instrumental:
D MajorD G+G
G+G D MajorD
I see a dried up sandy creek bed when the dry comes much too soon
D MajorD G+G
Watch the wild mob paw for water 'neath an early rising moon
G+G D MajorD
Maybe I'll see the dust cloud rising from the travellin' mob again
D MajorD G+G
Hear the whips crack on the tailers as they cross the open plain
G+G D MajorD
Just somewhere west of Winton mate is where I'd rather be
D MajorD G+G
To ride out in the dawn time, Mitchell to my horses knee
G+G D MajorD
Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten camp
D MajorD G+G
If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse stamp
