Slim Dusty – Gods Own Singer Of Songs (Guitar)

              C
Straight back chair and a table

         G              F
Where he sits when he's able

        D                         C
To walk over from that bed of misery

     G
To recall from his thoughts

     D             C
Or a worn-out tablecloth

           A7                              D      C C
where he'd been while his mind braced sleeplessly.

N.C.       C
Though his body's bent with age

              G                 F
You know he’s still out on that stage.

     D                                     C
Entertaining all his friends that pause to greet him at the door.

           G
Forty-nine years out on the road

       D                 C
Many a night he'd save a soul.

       A7                              D
now he sits and waits to claim his own reward.

N.C.      G         C           G        C
God’s own singer of songs is going home.

            G                A7                 D
Though he's poor he’d be the richest one you've known

        C                 G
All his pain will set him free.

         C                    D
Wash his soul and cleanse him clean.

          G         C          G         C
God's own singer of songs is going home.

          G         C          G          C
God's own singer of songs is going home.

          G         C N.C.                G
God's own singer of songs is going home.
