John Williamson Campfire on the road
Verse:
C majorC AM
Camping under the leopard wood As the sun goes down and the fire is good
FF G+G C majorC
Cause I've managed to find myself some brigalow
C majorC AM
And it wouldn't be the same I know Contemplating the fire glow
FF G+G C majorC
Without my darlin' out here on the road
C majorC AM
Now it's a very special thing To hear the little crickets sing
FF G+G C majorC
And there's no need to say another word
C majorC AM
Just watch the campfire steal the show And let the inner feelings flow
FF G+G C majorC
Release the tension out here on the road
Chorus:
AM FF G+G C majorC
We must never let 'em take this life away
AM FF G+G C majorC
Old stock routes belong to one and all
AM FF G+G C majorC AM
Drovers, dreamers all agree, poets, Aborigines
FF G+G C majorC
We have a right to light a campfire on the road
AM FF G+G C majorC AM FF G+G C majorC
Verse:
C majorC AM
Some people like a river bed With river gums high overhead
FF G+G C majorC
Unroll the swag on a drift of river sand
C majorC AM
But me I search for different sites I'm not afraid of Min Min lights
FF G+G C majorC
And I welcome spirits out here on the road
C majorC AM
And I welcome many signs I see In a land that's been so good to me
FF G+G C majorC
That lead me to the soul of inner man
C majorC AM
And I can tell you there are days I see the earth in different ways
FF G+G C majorC
That keep me searching out here on the road
Chorus:
AM FF G+G C majorC
We must never let 'em take this life away
AM FF G+G C majorC
Old stock routes belong to one and all
AM FF G+G C majorC AM
Drovers, dreamers all agree, poets, Aborigines
FF G+G C majorC
We have a right to light a campfire on the road
