Slim Dusty – Ironbark Jim (Guitar)

C                                                     G
Good old Ironbark Jim, you've never seen the likes of him

        C                                                  G
He's as hard as horseshoe nails and he's been in more bush jails

                                                                    C
Than fleas in a dog and he drinks enough grog to irrigate New South Wales

     C                             F             C
When Jim was only two years old or so his father said

   F                 C                D             G
He couldn't find him anywhere till he found him the shed

   C                                     F             C
He said to Ironbark, "look here son stop actin' like a clown

    F                   C                G   N.C.
You not gonna shoe that flamin' horse so put that anvil down."

C                                                     G
Good old Ironbark Jim, you've never seen the likes of him

        C                                                  G
He's as hard as horseshoe nails and he's been in more bush jails

                                                                    C
Than fleas in a dog and he drinks enough grog to irrigate New South Wales. Play Charley.

    C                                       F                C
Now when it comes to fightin' men, he's the greatest in the land

      F              C                   D            G
He'll take on two or three men, mate and only use one hand

    C                                   F                  C
Two drovers picked him years ago but he left them both out cold

      F                    C                  G    N.C.
Which wasn't too bad cause at the time he was only nine years old.

C                                                     G
Good old Ironbark Jim, you've never seen the likes of him

        C                                                  G
He's as hard as horseshoe nails and he's been in more bush jails

                                                                    C
Than fleas in a dog and he drinks enough grog to irrigate New South Wales

    C                                    F                  C
Ol, Jim once entered into a rowin' race across Port Phillip Bay

   F                    C                D               G
As soon as he heard the starters gun Ironbark was on his way

   C                               F                C
He left the others far behind, his stamina beat the band

        F               C                  G    N.C.
When he finally stopped exhausted he was a mile and a half inland.

C                                                         G
Good old Ironbark Jim, oh, you've never seen the likes of him

        C                                                  G
He's as hard as horseshoe nails and he's been in more bush jails

                                                                    C
Than fleas in a dog and he drinks enough grog to irrigate New South Wales

            C                                                    G
Oh, oh, oh, good old Ironbark Jim you've never seen the likes of him
