Chords relative to Capo 3.
Time signature: 3/4.
[Intro]
F F C C D G C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Now the big wet is over and the creeks are all full
G
And the green grasses bow to the breeze
F C
And the drought stricken breeders of not long ago
D F C
Are chewing their cud neath the trees.
[Verse 2]
F C
The horse bells are ringing on the gulf country runs
G
Peninsula camps are a stirr.
F C
Horse trailers and ringers and cooks full of fight
D G C
Fresh from the big city's lure.
[Chorus 1]
G C
Down on the basalt, the word has gone out.
G C
For all the good ringers to come.
F C
They laugh and they joke as they roll up their swags
D G C
and take a last pull at the rum.
[Break 1]
F F C C D G C
[Verse 3]
C F
And a dusky young maiden way out at the wheel
G
is sayin' good bye to her bo.
F C
"Oh Johnny McDarling, oh stay true to me
D G C
Till we meet at that big rodeo,"
[Verse 4]
F C
Johnny rides off to the Yelvertoft camps
G
with a smile and a song in his heart.
F C
He knows she'll be waiting when the muster is done
D G C
and never again will they part.
[Chorus 2]
G C
Way out on the Cooper where the channels run wide
G C
and seldom if ever it rains.
F C
They're greasin' their saddles and checkin' their gear
D G C
as soon they'll be riding again.
[Break 2]
F F C C D G C
[Verse 5]
C F C
Deep in the heart of the brigalow scrub
G
Where the wiley old cleanskins reside
F C
Old pikers are rising and sniffing the air
G C
Weary of ringers who ride.
[Chorus 3]
G C
Ride on wild horses as wild as themselves
G C
Hellbent for leather though scrub
F C
To run down the scrubbers and take them to sale
D G C
And spend the rewards in the pub.
[Verse 6]
F C
Yeah the big wet is over and the creeks are all full
G
And the country is smiling again
F C
Oh we paise the good lord for the blessing he gives
D G C
In the form of this live giving rain.
[Coda]
F C
Yeah the big wet is over and the creeks are all full
D G C
and the country is smiling again. Hey!
[Outro]
D G C C
