Pass The Bottle Round

Intro  C G C

C                                 
The sparks flew ever upwards from 
    G              G7
the glowing gidgee log
      F                          
Patty scraped his plate and threw 
            C           G7
the scraps over to the dogs
C                                 
The crackling campfire flickered 
      G                     G7
as the lads rolled out their swags
     F                           
Then Clarrie pulled a bottle from 
     C             G7
his beaten saddle bag


       F                          
It was out toward the border on a 
C
western cattle run
          G7               
They were rounding up those 
                    C
scrubbers one last time
         F                         
And they talked about the old days 
       C                  F
as the coals were burning down
   F                              
Memories that grow fonder as they 
G                  C
passed the bottle 'round


C                                
Well Henry told a story when his 
G                 G7
old mate Bill got drunk
       F                        
How he picked some toey shearers 
 C                      G7
outside the birdsville pub

And he raised another chuckle when
    G                  G7
 he told as he stepped in
    F                              
Old Bill let loose a blinder and he
 C                G7
 copped it on the chin


           F                       
And it was out toward the border on
   C
 a western cattle run
          G7               
They were rounding up those 
                    C
scrubbers one last time
         F                         
And they talked about the old days 
       C                  F
as the coals were burning down
   F

Patty stared into the embers and 
G          G7
quietly he spoke
       F                           
Of the night when out near Walgett 
    C            G7
the Barwon river broke
C                              G 
And his kelpie he was stranded on
           G7
 the other side
        F                          
When he tried to reach old Patty he
     C            G7
 was taken by the tide


       F                          
It was out toward the border on a 
C
western cattle run

                    C
scrubbers one last time
         F                         
And they talked about the old days 
       C                  F
as the coals were burning down
   F                              
Memories that grow fonder as they 
G                  C
passed the bottle 'round
