Key: Bb :Chords Relative to Capo 3 🎸 Intro: G A7 D D G 🎸 Verse: G D G I’m tired of listening to people, D G who rubbish what they call an Ocker. E A7 Bout time they took a look at themselves, D G they’re worse cause they’re just a Knocker. 🎸 Verse: G D G To me they're just parcel post cowboys, D G the true bushman I’m sure would agree. E A7 For I know that there’s thousands of Ockers D G who’d be glad to swap places with me.
🎸 Verse: G D G While he works in a steamin’ hot foundry, D G the sweat pours free from his brow. D I’ll probably be boiling my quart pot, A7 D Where do ya reckon, he’d rather be now. 🎸 Verse: G D G He drags himself off to the nightshift, D G after risin’ from a cozy warm bed. E A7 All the Knockers try tell us, he’s useless, D G I’m convinced they’re so wrong instead. 🎸 Verse: G D G He does his best for wife and for family. D G Most times it’s a pretty hard grind. D To pay his bills at the end of the month. A7 D If me, I’d be out of my mind. 🎸 Verse: G D G In the bush it’s free board and tucker. D G And bill’s just the name of a friend E A7 There's never a need for much money D G unless you’re in town on a bend 🎸 Verse: G D G Oh, I’m tired of listening to people, D G who rubbish what they call an Ocker. E A7 Bout time they took a look at themselves, D G they’re worse cause they’re just a Knocker. Hey! 🎸 Interlude: G A7 D G 🎸 Verse: G D G There’s a lot of folk call him a bludger, D G The Knockers that rubbish and call. D But if it weren’t for the bloke in the city, A7 D There’d be no bloody city at all. 🎸 Verse: G D G Who do you think built the houses, D G And the roads that we travel upon. E A7 Or the beautiful places that we visit, D G And resorts that we holiday on. 🎸 Verse: G D G So, next time that you go on a journey, D G Just take a good look around. D Note the millions the things that the Ocker has built A7 D And compare it to your own barren ground. 🎸 Verse: G D G Oh, we're miles in front of half the world D G And the youngest country on earth. E A7 And lazy bloody Australians have built it. D G Now what do you reckon he’s worth? 🎸 Verse: D G D G Oh, for god’s sake get off his back mate D G And give the old docker is due. E A7 Maybe all he talks of is his football D G D But at least he’s not rubbishing you. 🎸 Verse: G D G To me their just parcel post cowboys, D G the true bushman I’m sure would agree. E A7 For I know that there’s thousands of Ockers D G who’d be glad to swap places with me. 🎸 Outro: G A7 D* G 🎸 Outro: e|---2-2-------|---------3-| B|---3-3-------|---------0-| G|---2-2-------|---------0-| D|-0-----------|-------0-0-| A|-------2-1-0-|---0h2---2-| E|-------------|-3-------3-| ************************************ | h Hammer-on ************************************
