Slim Dusty – The Man From The Never Never Land (Guitar)

            A
My legs are kind of bowed from horses that I've rode

            B7
Through the salt bush and the sand.

              E
I've got that rock'n'rollin' beat from this rollin' saddle seat

          B7          E           A
Because I live in the never never land.

        A
I cooee out a song my pony jogs along

       B7
And he just seems to understand.

      E
I was born for the open life free from worries of a wife

 B7             E           A
Away out in the never never land.

             A
From drovin' on the track I'm nearly sunburnt black

             B7
And when the dust storms blow the sand,

   E
My language then is worse, unquenchable my thirst

     B7            E           A
From livin' in the never never land.

           A
I've never travelled down to all your high class towns

            B7
Because I'm right just where I am.

             E
Our town's a pub and general store, what's the use of any more

 B7             E           A
Away out in the never never land.

           A
I love the fun that goes with all the rodeos

          B7
When everyone's out to show their brand.

            E
And if you're thrown from a steer well there's not a thing to fear

    B7               E                A
The boys will always dig you from the sand.

         A
I go for sweet romance at the rodeo dance

         B7
As we're swingin' to the ragtime band.

             E
And when the boys are full of brew there might be a fight or two

            B7             E           A
Still we're cobbers in the never never land.

            A
My legs are kind of bowed from horses that I've rode

            B7
Through the salt bush and the sand.

              E
I've got that rock'n'rollin' beat from this rollin' saddle seat

          B7          E           A
Because I live in the never never land.
