Mallee Boy Chords by John Williamson

[B] Well I've ripped and dug out burrows on [F#] a sandy bullock [B] hill
Eradicating rabbits [F#] doesn't take a lot of skill, [G#] but a boy born in the Mallee doesn't find them hard [F#] to kill
_ _ _ _ _ [B] No self-respecting farmer lets [F#] a rodent eat his [B] weed
He'll shoot them and he'll skin them [F#] and he'll dress them up to eat
[G#m] But since the spread of mixo he's [F#] almost got em' B _ _ _ _
_ And I don't mind at all if you call me a [B] Mallee boy _ _ _
_ Where little town dogs howl [F#] at the morning [B] train
Where a cocky mate's a living [F#] on 12 inches of rain, [G#m] where his woman provides and is rare [F#] to complain
And _ _ _ [B] I still love the smell [F#] of that sandy soil
[B] Some say it's dusty, [F#] some say it's gold, cos [G#m] it grows the sweetest fat lambs the markets [F#] ever sold
_ And _ _ _ I don't mind at all if you call me a [B] Mallee boy _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ Woooo! _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] No I don't mind at all if you call me a [B] Mallee boy
_ _ _ _ _ Where you can lose an ear [F#] on duck opening day
[B] Where slickers bring their [F#] shotguns from miles away
[G#m] And shoot the life out of shags and swans that [F#] fly their way
Where _ _ [B] a bloke grows as stocky [F#] as a Mallee bull
Where [B] they come from miles around to [F#] see the tractor pull
[G#m] When the paddocks are clean and seed [F#] silos are full
_ _ _ _ _ And I don't mind at all if you call me a [B] Mallee boy
_ _ _ Well _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I've ripped and dug out [F#] burrows on a sandy bullock hill
[B] _ Eradicating rabbits [F#] doesn't take a lot of skill
[G#] And a boy born in the Mallee doesn't find them [F#] hard to kill
_ But _ _ [B] they'll never be as rare [F#] as a Kwong Dong tree
[B] My grandma made some jam for [F#] my brothers and me
[G#m] They're like the Mallee fowl you hardly [F#] ever see
_ _ _ _ But I don't mind at all if you call me a [B] Mallee boy
_ _ No _ [F#] I don't mind at all if you call me a [B] Mallee boy
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Woooo! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] No I don't mind at all if you call me a [B] Mallee boy _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
