Slim Dusty – Carry My Own Guitar (Guitar)

                     D                        E
I'm a-leavin' that's true, got some livin' to do,

             G                                    A7
And this ole thumb of mine, is goin' to travel me far,

                   D                    E
I'm as free as the wind, it's all about to begin,

     G     A7          D
As I carry   my own guitar.

                   D                         E
You can follow the times, you can just climb and climb,

               G                              A7
Your life gets fast girl, like your big shiny car,

                D                        E
I'm tied to ole lady luck, Aboard this old semitruck,

                G        A7                 D
That's goin' to carry me     and my old guitar.

          G           D                A7
And as we roll out of town I'm feelin' free,

                 G                    A7
Oh, that country breeze, is caressing me,

           D                      E
So long to you, back in your home of the blues,

          G                            A7
I'm now a travellin' man, on gravel or tar.

                    D                   E
I got a big land to see, And many others, maybe,

     G       A7        D
As I carry      my own guitar.

          G           D                A7
And as we roll out of town I'm feelin' free,

                 G                     A7
There's just the driver, my guitar and me,

                D                      E
I'm a-shoutin' tonight, what I'm doin' is right,

       G                                  A7
And those city lights, are now a-distance stars,

                         D                       E
Hey, there's the freeway sign, That's a promising good times,

     G     A7          D
As I carry   my own guitar.
