John Williamson – Murrumbidgee Madness (Guitar)

C
Down by the river where the muddy waters flow

C                                 G
Down where the crops are tall and green

G
I made my bed in this 40 acre patch of

G                                C
the strangest tobacco leaf I've seen

C                                                    G
I found some upon the ground , it looked so nice and ripe

G                                                    C
I rolled it into a little ball and stuffed it in my pipe

C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You're so beautiful tonight

 F                          D7
Glowin' in the silvery moonlight

 D7                          G
Flowin' like a ribbon to the sky

C
Sleepin' like a log in the early mornin' sun

C                              G
Dreamin' of my strange discovery

G
Woken by this warm sensation on my face

G                                          C
Was the breath of the biggest bull you've seen

C                                                    G
Well my mind jumped the river but my body froze like ice

G                                             C
And Mr Bull smiled "Hey man, ain't this grass nice?"

C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You're so beautiful tonight

 F                          D7
Glowin' in the silvery moonlight

 D7                          G
Flowin' like a ribbon to the sky

             C
Well there's kangaroos all climbin' trees, goannas on the hop

C                                    G
And Stan, the ram says it makes him cough   (cough   cough)

G
While Emu's on the runway, flappin' like a fool

G                                    C
Thinkin' that it's time that he took off

C                                                         G
And the silly galahs all full of seeds, doin' the loop-the-loop

G                                               C
And I found the fox, hysterical, in the chicken coop

C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You're so beautiful tonight

 F                          D7
Glowin' in the silvery moonlight

 D7                          G
Flowin' like a ribbon to the sky

C
Down by the river where the muddy waters flow

C                                 G
Down where the crops are tall and green

G
I made my bed in this 40 acre patch of

G                               C
the strangest tobacco leaf I've seen

C                                      G
Why don't you come and visit me and Mr Bull

G                                           C
You'll find our hospitality warm and wonderful

C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You're so beautiful tonight

 F                          D7
Glowin' in the silvery moonlight

 D7                          G
Flowin' like a ribbon to the sky

C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You're so beautiful tonight

 F                          D7
Glowin' in the silvery moonlight

 D7                          G
Flowin' like a ribbon to the sky
