Campfire On The Road chords by John Williamson

John Williamson  Campfire on the road

Verse:
 C                                      AM
Camping under the leopard wood   As the sun goes down and the fire is good
 F                    G                       C
Cause I've managed to find myself some brigalow
 C                                    AM
And it wouldn't be the same I know Contemplating the fire glow
 F                  G               C
Without my darlin' out here on the road
 C                               AM
Now it's a very special thing  To hear the little crickets sing
    F                    G           C
And there's no need to say another word
 C                                    AM
Just watch the campfire steal the show And let the inner feelings flow
 F             G                       C
Release the tension out here on the road

Chorus:
 AM                    F         G    C
We must never let 'em take this life away
 AM               F         G       C
Old stock routes belong to one and all
 AM                 F    G    C           AM
Drovers, dreamers all agree, poets, Aborigines
   F                         G              C
We have a right to light a campfire on the road

AM      F  G  C      AM       F  G   C

Verse:
 C                                  AM
Some people like a river bed      With river gums high overhead
 F                    G               C
Unroll the swag on a drift of river sand
 C                                      AM
But me I search for different sites   I'm not afraid of Min Min lights
   F                     G              C
And I welcome spirits out here on the road
 C                                      AM
And I welcome many signs I see    In a land that's been so good to me
 F                G               C
That lead me to the soul of inner man
 C                                  AM
And I can tell you there are days I see the earth in different ways
  F                      G              C
That keep me searching out here on the road

Chorus:
 AM                 F         G        C
We must never let 'em take this life away
 AM              F         G       C
Old stock routes belong to one and all
 AM                F    G    C           AM
Drovers, dreamers all agree, poets, Aborigines
   F                        G              C
