[D] [F] [Bb] [Eb]
They're catching no more [Bb] birds [Eb] in old Nullah Nullah Creek
Water's shallow now where it used to [Bb] be so deep
And when the flood is rushing down from the valley head so high
It spreads across the flats now where it once went [Eb] racing by
No use going back to the quiet fishing hole
Where I used to catch big catfish with a seasoned [Bb] currajong pole
And the old man eels lay hidden in the willow shelter
Now the creek bed's shallow, silted up, tell me where it [Eb] all will end
[G] [Ab] All the banks are high and shady and the water still is sweet
[Bb] But they're catching no more perch in old Nullah [Eb] Nullah Creek

[Eb] [D] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] They're catching no more perch in old Nullah Nullah Creek
All the native trees are falling from the valley [Bb] wall so steep
And the stands of giant cedar were all taken years ago
And the glory of the mountain ash sent crashing [Eb] down below
The [Eb] mountain rains run down from the hill so old and bare
They're buried deep below the sandy [Bb] creek that's growing there
And there's no more timber for us for the likes of us two
And there's no more perch for me to catch in old Nullah [Eb] Nullah Creek
[Bbm] [Ab] All the banks are high and shady and the water still is sweet
But [Bb] they're catching no more perch in old Nullah Nullah [Eb] Creek
