A Bushman Cant Survive

E                           
A city girl is happy with her 
  A                  E
friends and family life
E             B7                E
Appreciates a wine with him at night
    E                             
She tries to find the sparkle she 
A                 E
searches but it's gone
     E                B7          
With lots of love she hopes he'll 
      E
be alright
    E                              
Her man has gone all quiet he's not
    A
 at ease
   B7                              
He doesn't feel at home he's hard 
   E
to please
 E                                
He get's itchy feet he's tired of 
A
noises in the street
B7                                
He needs to walk for hours through
      E
 the trees

[Chorus]
     E                             
No a bushman can't survive on city 
 A
lights
B7                            
Opera rock n roll and height of 
   E
heights
    E                        
His moon shines on the silver 
   E
brigalow
A                  A
Shimmers down the inland river flow
B7                 B7           
Out there where the yellow belly 
E
bite

[Verse]
E                                
He's working with his hands today
A              E
 on a building site
E               B7           
He can smell the cypress on the 
    E
floors
   E                         A    
It takes him to a sandy ridge out 
             E
amongst the pines
   E              B7         E
No shearin' no ploughin' anymore
    E             E            
His kelpie dog is tired and fast 
   A
asleep
B7                                
Tired of searching gardens for the
  E
 sheep
    E                           
His master doesn't whistle tunes 
    A
he's not in the mood
    B7                            
His love for open spaces runs too 
E
deep
     E                             
No a bushman can't survive on city

A                       A
Shimmers down the inland river flow
B7                 B7         
Out there where the yellow belly 
    E
bite

[Verse]
E                              
He tries to please his woman the 
   A           E
lady of his life
     E             B7         
He's standing at a party with a 
  E
plate
E                            A   
She finds him on the balcony 
           E
staring at the moon
E              B7            E
An old familar face he can relate

[Chorus]
     E

A                        A
