Slim Dusty – Sally The Girl On Channel 8 (Guitar)

C                                                G
Billy was a friend of mind we drove the midnight run

G                                                       C
And on the plains outside of Hay we'd race our rigs for fun

C                                                    F
Just before the borderline a girl's voice filled the air

F              C         G               C
Calling on the CB, Billy knew girls everywhere

C                                                 G
Well this one he called Sally, she ran a pub somewhere

G                                                       C
She knew the codes and all the roads that led away from there

C                                                             F
When the Scalies stopped to drink she'd find out where they'd been

F               C              G             C
And radio their whereabouts to Billy and our team

F                                       C
Yes, there's a girl on the radio, she's using Channel 8

G                            F                 C
Calling out to Billy when to move and when to wait

   F                                   C                   Am
He wouldn't tell us where she was cos' that would blow the game

      F              C                  G             C
Where Sally's on the air he'd call "The Pub Without a Name"

C                                             G
Billy lost some points for drivin' hours in excess

G                                            C
The RTA was after him he was hounded more or less

C                                                   F
Still he kept on drivin' late I guess that's all he knew

F                  C               G                  C
I saw him roar off laughin' sayin' Sal' will guide me through

C                                                  G
That night he struck a thunderstorm his radio went out

G                                                   C
He took the long way round in case the Scalies were about

C                                                   F
The night was dark and raining it was such a rotten bend

F                      C                G             C
Where Billy missed the turn-off and jackknifed to his end

F                                        C
Well, there's a girl on the radio, she's using Channel 8

G                          F                 C
Calling out to Billy tryna find out why he's late

   F                                   C                   Am
He wouldn't tell us where she was cos' that would blow the game

      F              C              G             C
But I pictured Sally waitin' at the Pub Without a Name

  C                                                 G
I gave a bloke a ride that night I couldn't see his face

G                                                  C
He seemed to be familiar like I knew him from some place

C                                                      F
He asked me if I knew the pub in the town just further on

F                    C             G             C
But when I turned to answer him my passenger was gone

C                                                         G
I stopped the truck, I searched the road, hoped he didn't fall

G                                                          C
But everything was still like there'd been no one there at all

C                                                    F
I headed for the town he'd said and found that one hotel

F                    C           G                    C
And there behind the bar was the girl they all called Sal

F                                       C
Yes, she's the girl on the radio, she's using Channel 8

G                            F                 C
Calling out to Billy when to move and when to wait

    F                                 C                   Am
I'd like to tell you where she is but that would blow the game

     F               C            G             C
Cos' Sally she still operates the Pub Without a Name

C                                                           G
Yes the Pub Without a Name my friend is somewhere that I've been

G                                                    C
And if the Scalies ask you say it's just a trucker's dream

C                                                         F
I'd like to tell you where she is but that would blow the game

F                    C            G             C
Cos' Sally she still operates the Pub Without a Name

     F                 C                 G             C
Yeah Sally she's still on the air at the Pub Without a Name
