Chords

[Intro] G D G [Yodel]
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee
[Verse 1]
        G
Oh, the gumtrees at the seven mile

C
Swing and sway in the boogie style

        G                               D
And the reed beds in the river sweep and sway

        G
And the possums hop around in glee

    C
The dingos howl in an off beat key

          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way
[Verse 2]
        G
Now the swaggie jumped up from the hedge

C
Rushed to the parson, signed the pledge

    G                           D
And even threw his bottles all away

    F
For just outside his old bark shack

  C
A lazy old wombat ballin’ the Jack

          G               D                G
Since thе Bushland Boogie came around this way
[Yodel]
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee
[Verse 3]
        G
There’s farmer Grey's old jersey cow

C
Struttin' around the cow yard now

    G                              D
She swings her hips in a stately minuet

    G
And the old man sits on the cow yard rail

C
Banging his pipe on and empty pale

          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way
[Verse 4]
    G
For his old grey mare and neighbours hack

C
Cleared out together to the great outback

   G                                   D
To join the frolics where the brumbies play

     G
Everyone gets around with a jig and prance

    C
And dreams about the old barn dance

          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way
[Yodel]
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee
[Verse 5]
      G
Now a fella coming home from the local pub

      C
Took another look, gave his eyes a rub

    G                            D
And very smartly gave the booze away

   G
He swears by everything that’s true

          C
He saw an emu jazzing with a kangaroo

        G                       D             G
And the magpies whistled in the boogie-woogie way
[Chorus]
        G
Oh, the gumtrees at the seven mile

C
Swing and sway in the boogie style

        G                               D
And the reed beds in the river sweep and sway

     G
Everyone gets around with a jig and prance

    C
And dreams about the old barn dance

          G               D                G
Since the Bushland Boogie came around this way
[Yodel]
      G             D             G
Oh de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-ee-oh, de-ley-dee
