[Intro]
G A G D
[Verse 1]
G D Don't ask any questions G D Don't snoop around his claim G D A He'll be out with a dog and a shotgun G D Who knows what he's hiding G D Or why he makes his stand G D Men like him are buried alive A With opals in their hands
[Verse 2]
G D Well they say he came from Lismore G D That's about all we know G D He came for a weekend only A Twenty years ago G D Well he must have had money in the bank G D Or he's found a lot more than potch G D For every month he sends a cab A For another case of scotch
[Chorus]
G D He's a dreamer, he's a drinker G D A bull ant in a hole G D He's a schemer, he's a thinker A He's a lonely soul G D He's gouging for the opal G D Like a wombat or a mole G A G D Way out there at Lightning Ridge

[Verse 3]
G D Down below the leopardwood G D Below the bimblebox G D A Get your thrill on lunatic hill G D Flashes of dancing colour G D Green and gold and red G D Mix it with black and you're on your back A Digging until you're dead
[Verse 4]
G D Well, it's not about a fancy car G D It's not about the cash G D They passed the hat for a swimming pool A And built it in a flash G D No, it's all about the opal G D You get it in your eye G D You see a glimpse of heaven A With angels in the sky
[Chorus]
G D And you're a dreamer, you're a drinker G D A bull ant in a hole G D You're a schemer, you're a thinker A You're a lonely soul G D You're gouging for the opal G D Like a wombat or a mole G A G D Way out there at Lightning Ridge (sing with me) G D He's a dreamer, he's a drinker G D A bull ant in a hole G D He's a schemer, he's a thinker A He's a lonely soul G D He's gouging for the opal G D Like a wombat or a mole G A G D Way out there at Lightning Ridge
