A Bushman Cant Survive (CHORDS) by John Williamson
[Verse]~
E A E
A city girl is happy with her friends and family life
E B7 E
Appreciates a wine with him at night
E A E
She tries to find the sparkle she searches but it's gone
E B7 E
With lots of love she hopes he'll be alright
E A
Her man has gone all quiet he's not at ease
B7 E
He doesn't feel at home he's hard to please
E A
He get's itchy feet he's tired of noises in the street
B7 E
He needs to walk for hours through the trees
[Chorus]~
E A
No a bushman can't survive on city lights
B7 E
Opera rock n roll and height of heights
E E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow
A A
Shimmers down the inland river flow
B7 B7 E
Out there where the yellow belly bite
[Instrumental]~
E A A B7 B7 E E
[Verse]~
E A E
He's working with his hands today on a building site
E B7 E
He can smell the cypress on the floors
E A E
It takes him to a sandy ridge out amongst the pines
E B7 E
No shearin' no ploughin' anymore
E E A
His kelpie dog is tired and fast asleep
B7 E
Tired of searching gardens for the sheep
E A
His master doesn't whistle tunes he's not in the mood
B7 E
His love for open spaces runs too deep
E A
No a bushman can't survive on city lights
B7 E
Opera rock n roll and height of heights
E E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow
A A
Shimmers down the inland river flow
B7 B7 E
Out there where the yellow belly bite
[Verse]~
E A E
He tries to please his woman the lady of his life
E B7 E
He's standing at a party with a plate
E A E
She finds him on the balcony staring at the moon
E B7 E
An old familar face he can relate
[Chorus]~
E A
No a bushman can't survive on city lights
B7 E
Opera rock n roll and height of heights
E E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow
A A
Shimmers down the inland river flow
B7 B7 E
Out there where the yellow belly bite
E
His moon shines on the silver brigalow
A A
Shimmers down the inland river flow
B7 E
Out there where the yellow belly bite
