John Williamson – A Bushman Cant Survive (Guitar)

E                             A                  E
A city girl is happy with her friends and family life

E             B7                E
Appreciates a wine with him at night

    E                             A                 E
She tries to find the sparkle she searches but it's gone

     E                B7                E
With lots of love she hopes he'll be alright

    E                                  A
Her man has gone all quiet he's not at ease

   B7                                 E
He doesn't feel at home he's hard to please

 E                                A
He get's itchy feet he's tired of noises in the street

B7                                      E
He needs to walk for hours through the trees

     E                              A
No a bushman can't survive on city lights

B7                               E
Opera rock n roll and height of heights

    E                           E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow

A                  A
Shimmers down the inland river flow

B7                 B7           E
Out there where the yellow belly bite

E                                A              E
He's working with his hands today on a building site

E               B7               E
He can smell the cypress on the floors

   E                         A                 E
It takes him to a sandy ridge out amongst the pines

   E              B7         E
No shearin' no ploughin' anymore

    E             E               A
His kelpie dog is tired and fast asleep

B7                                  E
Tired of searching gardens for the sheep

    E                               A
His master doesn't whistle tunes he's not in the mood

    B7                            E
His love for open spaces runs too deep

     E                              A
No a bushman can't survive on city lights

B7                                E
Opera rock n roll and height of heights

    E                            E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow

A                       A
Shimmers down the inland river flow

B7                 B7             E
Out there where the yellow belly bite

E                                 A           E
He tries to please his woman the lady of his life

     E             B7           E
He's standing at a party with a plate

E                            A              E
She finds him on the balcony staring at the moon

E              B7            E 
An old familar face he can relate

     E                              A
No a bushman can't survive on city lights

B7                               E
Opera rock n roll and height of heights

    E                            E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow

A                      A
Shimmers down the inland river flow

B7                   B7           E
Out there where the yellow belly bite

    E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow

A                        A
Shimmers down the inland river flow

B7                                E
Out there where the yellow belly bite
