[C] [DM] [G7] [C] [C] [DM] [G7][C]
(VERSE ONE) [C]Wouldn't you like to ride a[DM]long a country road,

I'll [G7]give you a gentle [C]pus[AM]h.[DM][G7]

I [C]swell with pride to [DM]see the countryside

When I [G7]wander aimlessly through the [C]bus[AM]h.[DM][G7]

'Cause [C]that's where I get my [DM]music

And [G7]that's where I live my [C]life.

You can [C]call me a j[EM/B]olly [AM]swagman [C/G]if you [G7]lik[DM7/A]e.[Bbdim][G7]

(CHORUS 1)

[C]Call it humpin' my [DM]bluey,

[G7] I reckon that's the [C]sty[AM]le,[DM][G7]

So [C]why don't you climb a[DM]board with me, [G7]along the road a [C]while

(VERSE 2)
Been workin' in the big smoke, singin' at the pub,
I talk to people everywhere who still love the scrub
All longing for a piece of land and the eucalyptus air,
So why don't you come with me I'll take you there

(CHORUS 2)
Maybe we'll find a shack somewhere,
Plant an avocado tree
With fences only to deep out the cows,
Share a dream with me

(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE AND CHORUS 1)

(VERSE 3)
I've spent some time in your town, at every waterhole
'Cause I must drink a big brown land,
To quench a thirsty soul,
And north to the black soil plains
Through cattle, sheep and hills of golden grain

(CHORUS 3)
The snow on Kosciusko,
My friends in the Territory
And springtime in Tasmania,
It all belongs to me

(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE AND CHORUS 1)
