Skinny Dingoes chords by John Williamson

• Capo on 1st

G
What am I doing here?
       C                  G
On the banks of the Diamantina
      C           G           Am            D
Where only skinny dingoes and horny lizards go
G
The moon is loud and clear
         C                  G
Like the notes on the concertina
     C            G                C         D        G
I'll play another drovin' song the white owl wouldn't know

C                G           C           G
Forty years been drovin', no woman by my side
C               G              Am           D
No one gives me orders on this dusty road I ride
C                        G           C                  G
But the sun can sure get angry as it burns you from the ground
    C                G           C       D     G
One day those skinny dingoes can drag my bones around

G                               C            G
Channel country, gibber plains, tablelands I know
    C                   G                Am             D
And then there's gentle sand dunes where little Mallees grow
G                           C            G
There's a friendly campfire everywhere I go
     C            G                C         D        G
I'll play another drovin' song the white owl wouldn't know

C                G           C           G
Forty years been drovin', no woman by my side
C               G              Am           D
No one gives me orders on this dusty road I ride
        C                G           C                  G
But the sun can sure get angry as it burns you from the ground
    C                G           C       D     G
One day those skinny dingoes can drag my bones around

   G                                C                 G
So see you later Birdsville, you're far too flash for me
          C                 G          Am              D
While the beer was cold and yummy from here it's Billy Tea
    G                              C              G
The mob is keen on movin' and that sounds good to me
     C                G                 Am      D   G
Good feed they reckon southbound, we're heading for Marree

C                G           C           G
Forty years been drovin', no woman by my side
C               G              Am           D
No one gives me orders on this dusty road I ride
        C                G           C                  G
But the sun can sure get angry as it burns you from the ground
    C                G           C       D     G
One day those skinny dingoes can drag my bones around

C                G           C           G
Forty years been drovin', no woman by my side
C               G              Am           D
No one gives me orders on this dusty road I ride
        C                   G             C                G
But the flies can drive you crazy and the wind can get you down
        C             G            C       D          G
But you won't find me lingerin' or hanging round this town
