Chords with lyrics

Verse:
E MajorE               A augmentedA         E MajorE
A augmentedA city girl is happy with her friends and family life
E MajorE       B7B7        E MajorE
Appreciates a wine with him at night
  E MajorE               A augmentedA         E MajorE
She tries to find the sparkle she searches but it's gone
   E MajorE        B7B7        E MajorE
With lots of love she hopes he'll be alright
  E MajorE                 A augmentedA
Her man has gone all quiet he's not at ease
  B7B7                 E MajorE
He doesn't feel at home he's hard to please
 E MajorE                A augmentedA
He get's itchy feet he's tired of noises in the street

He needs to walk for hours through the trees

   E MajorE               A augmentedA
No a bushman can't survive on city lights
B7B7                E MajorE
Opera rock n roll and height of heights
  E MajorE              E MajorE
His moon shines on the silver brigalow
A augmentedA         A augmentedA
Shimmers down the inland river flow
B7B7         B7B7      E MajorE
Out there where the yellow belly bite

Verse:
E MajorE                A augmentedA       E MajorE
He's working with his hands today on a building site
E MajorE        B7B7        E MajorE
He can smell the cypress on the floors
  E MajorE             A augmentedA         E MajorE
It takes him to a sandy ridge out amongst the pines
  E MajorE       B7B7     E MajorE
No shearin' no ploughin' anymore
  E MajorE       E MajorE        A augmentedA
His kelpie dog is tired and fast asleep
B7B7                 E MajorE
Tired of searching gardens for the sheep
  E MajorE                A augmentedA
His master doesn't whistle tunes he's not in the mood
  B7B7              E MajorE
His love for open spaces runs too deep

Opera rock n roll and height of heights

Shimmers down the inland river flow

Out there where the yellow belly bite

He's standing at a party with a plate
E MajorE              A augmentedA       E MajorE
She finds him on the balcony staring at the moon
E MajorE       B7B7      E MajorE
An old familar face he can relate
