Chords for Alec Beckett When The Currawongs Come Down

[G] _ [Eb] _ I happened to run across another [D] gentleman over in Tamworth.
I've been over there a few times.
Like about 17 in [Bb] a row.
Anyway, we ran across most of the artists over there.
A fellow [N] by the name of Jonny Johnston.
[Bb] Anyway, we wrote a song about the Pearls.
And it's in these lines.
Hang on mate. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ When I was just a young man, I remember being
[F] By a weather-beaten [C] bushman, bristled, [F] grey and old
[Bb] He was sitting on a bus, on a sail day in the [Eb] town
Oh, [F] it's time to get the rum out, when the [Bb] carawolves come down _
When the carawolves come [Eb] down [F] from the mountain _
To the warmer valley country down [Bb] below _
When the carawolves come down from [Eb] the timber
It's [F] a sign of rough weather, rain [Bb] or snow _
Throughout the passing years, so often [F] I have heard
Plain and simple [C] carawolves, [Gm] referred [Cm] to as [F] rainbirds
_ [Bb] I've studied nature closely, and I have always [Eb] felt
_ [F] It's time to don your royalties, when the [Bb] carawolves come down
_ When the carawolves come down [F] from the mountain
_ To the warmer valley country [Bb] down below
When the carawolves come down [Eb] from the timber
_ [F] It's a sign of rough weather, [Bb] rain or snow
[F] I _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
know many _ indications, by the bushman [F] I have met
Indication about the weather, [C] dry or [F] cold or wet
_ [Bb] And sometimes they are right, you know, sometimes [Eb] wrong, I've found
But [F] there's no two ways about it, when the [Bb] carawolves come down
_ When the carawolves come [F] down from the mountain
To the warmer valley country down [Bb] below
_ When the carawolves come [Eb] down from the timber
It's [F] a sign of rough weather, rain [Bb] or snow
Well I live here in the snowy, with their howling [F] winter wind
When the summer's [C] over, winter [F] time begins
[Bb] And the artists love the beauty, of the frost upon [Eb] the ground
And [F] it's time for winter fires, when the [Bb] carawolves come down
When the carawolves come [Eb] down from [F] the mountain
To the warmer valley country down [Bb]
below
_ When the carawolves come [Eb] down from the timber
It's [F] a sign of rough weather, rain [Bb] or snow
_ It's [F] a sign of rough weather, [Bb] rain or snow
