This song is about Slim Dusty and about the Slim Dusty Heritage Centre over there at Kempsey.
So here we go.
[F#]
[D]
[A] It's been a long, long way [G] since [D] 1943.
The story of Slim Dusty just begun.
[A] Dedication and direction [D] to be a [A] superstar.
The boy from Nulla Nulla made his run.
Sixty years of music in his Slim Dusty style.
The [E] undisputed leader in his field.
He sang about Australia [D] in a way we could [A] relate.
His stories offered people [D] who were serene.
It's been a long, long way [G] since the rain fell [D] in July.
Recording more than a [A] thousand songs.
[D] The venue's ever different for this son of Noisy Dan.
[A] Slim and joy in the travelling [D] country land.
[A] And so in recognition of what Slim [A] achieved.
[E] And to keep the legend ever strong.
[D] Lands were [A] made for Kempsey, Slim's old boyhood [A] home.
For a tribute to this great Australian son.
[D] It's been a long, long way.
[G] With a dream that's been the light.
To a destination [A] and a goal.
[D] Nothing's ever easy.
They never gave up the [A] fight.
Till we have this grand achievement to behold.
The Slim Dusty centre [D]
[A] proudly on the hill.
[E] A tribute to a man who lived [A] his dream.
[D] The boy from Nulla Nulla [G] who walked a country [D] mile.
His lifetime and [A] achievements can [D] be seen.
It's been a long, long way [G] since [D] 1943.
The story of Slim Dusty just [A] begun.
That [A] place upon the billboard, the [D] bloke who's done it all.
Oh, let's just say [A] Slim Dusty's back [D] in town.
Oh, let's [A] just say Slim Dusty's back [D] in town, I reckon.
Oh, let's just say Slim Dusty's back in town.
