Slim Dusty – Old Boko Me (Guitar)

    G                                  C
I'm goin' out where the brumby's roam, goin' out there to make my home

          G                               D
Where the bees are buildin' honeycomb for me

      G                                              C
Gonna boil my billy where the bloodwoods grow, gonna make my bed when the sun sinks low

      G               A7    D      G    G7
Gonna croon a tune to Old Boko and me.

  C
A way out west, where I love best I'm happy there

        A7                                 D
You can have your town, it let me down and left me bare

    G                              C
The Barwin runs are banker for the waterfall outside my door

     G                             D
That seems to murmur never more to roam.

    G                                     C
The rugged ridge on the mountain throws a shadow where the wild herd goes

    G              A7       D           G
And Boko's happy, 'cause he knows we're home.

    G                             C
I'm never gonna leave again, give me the sight of an open plain

    G                               D
And let me feel the wind blow in my face

      G                                        C
Gonna leave ya' bright lights far behind, they done me wrong, but I don't mind

    G              A7       D     G       G7
I'm headed where I know I'm in my place.

    C
I'm goin' home no more to roam I'm gonna stay

       A7                                D
And my itchy feet, I've got 'em beat and now I'll say

    G                             C
I'm gonna settle down at last, my discontented days are past

    G                           D
I'm happy in this kingdom of my own

    G                                C
The fragrance of the old gumtrees is sweet upon the evenin' breeze

    G              A7       D           G
And Boko's happy, 'cause he knows we're home.

    G                                  C
I'm goin' out where the brumby's roam, goin' out there to make my home

          G                               D
Where the bees are buildin' honeycomb for me

      G                                              C
Gonna boil my billy where the bloodwoods grow, gonna make my bed when the sun sinks low

      G               A7    D      G    G7
Gonna croon a tune to Old Boko and me.
