[Verse]
C                               F
I'm a singer from down under and it isn't any wonder
C                                       G
That I like a can or two of tooheys old
                 D
I've sung my way about, from the bush to the opera house
                    G
And tomorrow's just another town to show

C                                              F
Bush ballads are my life oh I sing 'em all the time
C                               G
Stories of our people and our land

Spent a lot of time at home, cause I was country born
                                        C
And it's helped me such a lot to understand

           F
Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move
                                                     G
Oh I like the life I'm livin' given under skies of blue
F                                        C        A
May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine
F                              C
My song is for Australia every time

C                                         F
I was never really lazy, but the neighbours thought me crazy
C                                              G
Cause I dreamed about a life of travellin' round
                        D
A dream that made me move, seemed the natural thing to do
                                    G
So at twenty one I finally left the land

           C                                F
Some said 'twas rather risky but I married in the fifties
        C               G
And in 1954 we hit the road
We went out for a 3 month trial, but that cagin' country mile
                                      C
Has forever since just kept us on the go

           F
Hey I'm a singer from down under on the move
                                                      G
Oh I like the life I'm livin' given under skies of blue
    F                                   C       A
May the Southern Cross in freedom ever shine
F                       G7      C            A
My song is for Australia every time, my friends
F                      G
My song is for Australia every

C   Am  F G   C
time.
