Murrumbidgee Madness

C     G     G     C     C     G     G     C


[Verse]
C
Down by the river where the muddy waters flow
C                                 G
Down where the crops are tall and green
G
I made my bed in this 40 acre patch of
G                                C
the strangest tobacco leaf I’ve seen
C                                                    G
I found some upon the ground , it looked so nice and ripe
G                                                    C
I rolled it into a little ball and stuffed it in my pipe



[Chorus]
C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You’re so beautiful tonight
 F                          D7
Glowin’ in the silvery moonlight
 D7                          G
Flowin’ like a ribbon to the sky



[Verse]
C
Sleepin’ like a log in the early mornin’ sun
C                              G
Dreamin’ of my strange discovery
G
Woken by this warm sensation on my face
G                                          C
Was the breath of the biggest bull you’ve seen
C                                                    G
Well my mind jumped the river but my body froze like ice
G                                             C
And Mr Bull smiled “Hey man, ain’t this grass nice?”



[Chorus]
C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You’re so beautiful tonight
 F                          D7
Glowin’ in the silvery moonlight
 D7                          G
Flowin’ like a ribbon to the sky



[Verse]
             C
Well there’s kangaroos all climbin’ trees, goannas on the hop
C                                    G
And Stan, the ram says it makes him cough   (cough   cough)
G
While Emu’s on the runway, flappin’ like a fool
G                                    C
Thinkin’ that it’s time that he took off
C                                                         G
And the silly galahs all full of seeds, doin’ the loop-the-loop
G                                               C
And I found the fox, hysterical, in the chicken coop



[Chorus]
C              Dm                     F
Murrumbidgee, You’re so beautiful tonight
 F                          D7
Glowin’ in the silvery moonlight
 D7                          G
Flowin’ like a ribbon to the sky

Why don’t you come and visit me and Mr Bull
G                                           C
You’ll find our hospitality warm and wonderful

Flowin’ like a ribbon to the sky
