[Chorus]
G C G It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog D7 It's all for me beer and tobacco G C G 'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin D7 G Now across the Western Plains I must wander
[Verse 1]
G C G I'm stiff and stony broke and I've parted with my smoke D7 And the sky is looking black as thunder G C G And the boss of the shanty too, for I haven't got a sou D7 G That's how they treat you when you're down and under
[Chorus]
G C G It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog D7 It's all for me beer and tobacco G C G 'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin D7 G Now across the Western Plains I must wander
[Verse 2]
G C G I'm crook in the head, for I haven't been to bed D7 Since I first touched this shanty with my plunder G C G I see centipedes and snakes, and I'm full of aches and shakes D7 G So I'd better make a push out over yonder
[Chorus]
G C G It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog D7 It's all for me beer and tobacco G C G 'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin D7 G Now across the Western Plains I must wander
[Verse 3]
G C G Repentance brings reproof, so I sadly pad the hoof D7 All day I see the mirage of the trees G C G But it'll all have an end when I reach the river bend D7 G And listen to the sighing of the breeze
[Chorus]
G C G It's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog D7 It's all for me beer and tobacco G C G 'cos I spent all my tin in the shanty drinking gin D7 G Now across the Western Plains I must wander
