 D
Now I've been around Australia

            G           D
And I've travelled everywhere

                                       A
But there's one place I really like to go

           D
Where the land is big and wide

     G                 D
And tall dark ringers ride
On the plains of Peppimenarti
           A               D
Where the old Moyle River flows

 D
Tough riders there of course

       G             D
In a truck or on a horse

                                                A
And they'll really teach you things you didn't know

       D
It's excitement to the full

           G                 D
If you're out there chasing bulls
By the plains of Peppimenarti
           A               D
Where the old Moyle River flows
[Chorus]
          G
And the Kangaroo still bounds

          D
On that rough and rugged ground

                                    A
The ant hills and the old pandanas grow

          D
Yes and everyday's a Sunday

            G
If you're catching Barramundi

         D
By the plains of Peppimenarti

           A                D
Where the old Moyle River flows
[Instrumental]
D A D  D A D  G D A D
Yodel  Yodel
[Verse]
 D
Now the men out on the stock camps

          G            D
Are the finest riders known

                                                 A
And they'll work four weeks without a break or spell

             D
They're the back bone of our beef steaks

            G             D
And I've mentioned this before
And it's a story that I'm
 A               D
Always proud to tell

 D
May the march of time never

      G              D
Ever bring to many changes

                                       A
To a way of life you people love and prize

          D
May the years ahead be good ones

         G                D
And you never lose your customs
With old Peppimenarti Hill
         A               D
Looking down so old and wise
