Slim Dusty – The Pub Rock (Guitar)

  A
I guess you've heard the story of a pub with no beer, saddest story heard for many a year

    D                                      A
But times are changin' I've found, they've really hepped it up in that a-country town

    E
Now everyone turned to rock

        D               E       A
as they do the pub with no beer rock

    A
And all the stockmen are on the beam, sold their jeeps for new limousines

 D                                            A
Away from the dry stock routes, and they're a-reeling and a-rocking in their high heeled boots

    E
you can't get them back to the stock

         D              E       A
from the crazy pub with no beer rock. Yeah!

A
There's old billy with his blacksmith blues, sick and tired of seeing horsin' shoes

    D                              A
The pub is Bill's retreat and each night he turns up, turned out neat

    E
But leaves looking like a rag mop

         D              E       A
From the crazy pub with no beer rock

    A
And there’s the swaggie in his blues suede shoes, a-reeling and a-rocking beating time to the blues

         D                                   A
Oh, he's rockin' with the maid you know, you oughta see those cool cats reel and go

    E
The chandeliers are likely to drop

        D               E       A
as they do the pub with no beer rock. Yeah!

    A
So, if you're ever travelling around our way, feeling dry and dusty from a long dry day

D                               A
come along and take bow, to the pub with no beer where the beer flows now

E
And you're back in town you will stop

    D               E       A
and do the pub with no beer rock

    A
So, gather up the swaggie and the maid we knew, billy the blacksmith and the stockman too

D                              A
Come along and drink with me, tonight we're making rock history

    E
And may the rhythm never stop

             D                E       A
And just the rollin' pub with no beer rock

D        A
Roll and Rock

E        A
Roll and rock

        D               E       A
As they do the pub with no beer rock

        D               E       A
As they do the pub with no beer rock

        D               E       A
As they do the pub with no beer rock
