As recorded by Tyler Childers (From the 2025 Album SNIPE HUNTER) [Chorus]
     A
Down under is forever and a day

                                 D  Bm
Down under is forever and a day
[Verse 1]
A
Koala bears get livid when they don't eat eucalyptus

A
Most of them carry syphilis

A
Or chlamydia, what's the difference?

      Bm                        A   E
All I know is I don't want no koala cuddlin' up to me

      D                      A     Bm
I can see it fine from here, it's a pretty cute koala
[Chorus]
     A
Down under is forever and a day

A
Down under is forever and a day
[Verse 2]
A
Kangaroos can whoop up on ya

A
They'd rather fight than watch ya

A
I know they look tame and dainty, but I'll tell ya now, ya oughta

          Bm                        A
Take some care because they're deer

 E
Evolved to better boxers

           D                          A
They don't take to whisperin' nothings

       Bm
They'd punch a crowdin' talker
[Chorus]
     A
Down under is forever and a day

A
It ain't no wonder why more folks don't find the time

A
'Cause it takes time to get down under

Bm                          A
Things out there can kill ya

        E
From the critters to the thunder

          D                A      Bm
It's been forever and a day since I have been down under

     A
Down under is forever and a day

A
Down under is forever and a day
[Instrumental Break] Bm E D A Bm [Verse 3]
        A
There's always somethin' thrilling

A
To get your heart a-racin'

A
No shit I've had the notion

A
But that ain't what I'm chasin'

    Bm
And life is more than treasure born

     E
From sense, and light, and pleasure

      D                      A
And I would not take a thing

        Bm
From my journey out under
[Bridge]
E                             Bm
Vegemite and flying kites the opposite way

E
With crocodilian convicts

        Bm
And the criminally insane
[Chorus]
     A
Down under is forever and a day

A
It ain't no wonder why more folks don't find the time

A
'Cause it takes time to get down under

Bm
Things out there can kill ya worse

     E
Than critters and the thunder

          D                       Bm
It's been forever and a day since I have been down under

     A
Down under is forever and a day

A
Down under is forever and a day

A
Down under is forever and a day

A
Down under is forever and a day
[Outro]
A
Forever and a day

A
Forever and a day

A
Forever and a day

A
Forever and a day

A
Forever and a day

A
Forever and a day
