John Williamson – Prettiest Girl In The Kimberley (Guitar)

C                            F C
Where is the glory when war is won

    Em                      F         G
A man hits the bottle and belts his son

      Am      G       F      C
So I ran away to the Cattle Run

         Em         G         F       C
Where I learned to fight and swallow rum

       Am         G      F        C
And I learned to go barefoot you see

F            C   Dm  G
Just like an Aborigine

     Am           G        F        C
For one of their tribe belonged to me

       F         C           G     C
The Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley

C                            F C
But I could not marry the girl I adore

    Em                 F         G
Black and white was against the law

    Am      G        F      C
They chain you up to a Boab Tree

F            C   Dm  G
For kissing an Aborigine

C                         F       C
But a ringer's heart is immune to pain

    Em                   F         G
A bull rips your leg and you carry on

    Am            G        F      C
You clench your teeth and you cry alone

F            C                   Dm  G
And ride for a week till the poison's gone

C                     F       C
But me and my dog we're not alone

    Em                         F         G
The Pension provides us with beef and a bone

    Am            G          F      C
I've given up drifting and drinking rum

F            C       Dm        G
We're up and about before the sun

C                         F       C
And I can still quarter a beast in a dash

    Em                           F         G
Have your freezer full of spare ribs in a flash

    Am            G        F      C
And I still dream of the one for me

F            C               Dm  G
The Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley

    Am      G            F       C
Yes I still dream of the one for me

    F         C           G        C
