[Intro]
G D D7 G
[Verse]
G The sweet scented wattle sheds perfume around D7 Delighting the bird and the bee G As I lie and take rest in me fern covered nest A D G D In the shade of the currajong tree
[Verse]
G High up in the air I can hear the refrain D7 Of a butcherbird piping his tune G For the spring in her glory has come back again D7 G D D7 G To the banks of the Reedy Lagoon
[Verse]
G I've carried me bluey for many a mile D7 Me boots are worn out at the toes G And I'm dressing this season in different style A D G D From what I did last year, god knows
[Verse]
G Me cooking utensils, I'm sorry to say D7 Consist of a knife and a spoon G And I've dry bread and tea in a battered Jack Shay D7 G D D7 G By the banks of the Reedy Lagoon
[Verse]
G Oh, where is young Frankie, how he could ride D7 And Johnnie the light-hearted boy? G They tell me that lately he's taken a bride A D G D A benedict's life to enjoy
[Verse]
G And Mac, the big Scotsman, I once heard him say D7 He'd wrestled the famous Muldoon G But they're all gone away and it's lonely today D7 G D D7 G By the banks of the Reedy Lagoon
[Verse]
G And where is the lady I often caressed D7 The girl with the sad dreamy eyes? G She pillows her head on another man's breast A D G D He tells her the very same lies
[Verse]
G My bed she would hardly be willing to share D7 Where I camp by the light of the moon G But it's little I care, for I'd never keep square D7 G D D7 G By the banks of the Reedy Lagoon

G High up in the air I can hear the refrain D7 Of a butcherbird piping his tune G For the spring in her glory has come back again D7 G D D7 G To the banks of the Reedy Lagoon
