Вступление
[Intro]
C F C G C
[Verse 1]
C F
I'm a plain Australian bushman and I've drifted far and wide,
C G
I'm a jack-of-all-trades in the bush - and I say that with pride,
C F
I'm only one of many who are batt'ling in the scrub,
C G C
Workin' for an honest wage, may-be to splash in some old pub
[Chorus]
F C
We are ringers, fencers, shearers, we are drovers on the track,
F C G
We are miners and road builders op'ning up the great outback,
C F
Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend,
C G C
And we wander 'cos we know our goal lies 'round the distant bend.
[Break]
/* With Harmonica */
C F C G C
[Verse 2]
C F
Our wives are mostly stickers so they sacrifice and save,
C G
In lonely isolation, understanding, true and brave,
C F
They rouse and scold and nurse us when we're getting off the spree
C G C
And I wonder why such women stick to blokes like you and me
[Chorus]
F C
We are pressed as cooks and rousers thru and brumby shooters too,
F C G
Horse breakers and truck drivers, taking pride in all we do,
C F
Hard drinkers and hard fighters and we give but never lend,
C G C
And we wander 'cos we know our goal lies 'round the distant bend.
[Break]
/* With Harmonica */
C F C G C
[Verse 3]
C F
We take pride in our possessions which are mostly old and few,
C G
And we plan while we are workin' how we'll start our life anew,
C F
But plans and cheques are slaughtered when we hit the nearest pub,
C G C
Then it's back out bush to work and plan and rough it in the scrub
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, we are ringers, fencers, shearers, we are drovers on the track,
F C G
We are miners and road builders op'ning up the great outback,
C F
Hard drinkers and hard workers and we give but never lend,
C G C
And we wander 'cos we know our goal lies 'round the distant bend.
[Outro]
F C G C
Yes we wander 'cos we know our goal lies 'round the distant bend.
