G    D     G


Yodel:
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee


Verse 1:
        G
Oh, the gumtrees at the seven mile
C

Swing and sway in the boogie style
        G                               D
And the reed beds in the river sweep and sway
        G
And the possums hop around in glee
    C
The dingos howl in an off beat key
          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way


Verse 2:
        G
Now the swaggie jumped up from the hedge
C
Rushed to the parson, signed the pledge
    G                           D
And even threw his bottles all away
    F
For just outside his old bark shack
  C
A lazy old wombat ballin’ the Jack
          G               D                G
Since thе Bushland Boogie came around this way


Yodel:
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee


Verse 3:
        G
There’s farmer Grey's old jersey cow
C
Struttin' around the cow yard now
    G                              D
She swings her hips in a stately minuet
    G
And the old man sits on the cow yard rail
C
Banging his pipe on and empty pale
          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way


Verse 4:
    G
For his old grey mare and neighbours hack
C
Cleared out together to the great outback
   G                                   D
To join the frolics where the brumbies play
     G
Everyone gets around with a jig and prance
    C
And dreams about the old barn dance
          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way


Yodel:
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee


Verse 5:
      G
Now a fella coming home from the local pub
      C
Took another look, gave his eyes a rub
    G                            D
And very smartly gave the booze away
   G
He swears by everything that’s true
          C
He saw an emu jazzing with a kangaroo
        G                       D             G
And the magpies whistled in the boogie-woogie way


Chorus:
        G
Oh, the gumtrees at the seven mile
C
Swing and sway in the boogie style
        G                               D
And the reed beds in the river sweep and sway
     G
Everyone gets around with a jig and prance
    C
And dreams about the old barn dance
          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way


Yodel:
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee
