Chords for Slim Dusty -- Plains of Peppimenarti.

Here's a song about some special Aboriginal friends of mine in Northern Territory.
It's a special place, it's a song called The Plains of Peppermint Artie.
Here's a little old song about Peppermint Artie and all you great people that I've learned to know.
[C] _ [F] _ _
[Bb] Lee, [F] Lee, [C] oh, Lee, [F] oh, Lee
_ Now I've been around Australia [Bb] and I've travelled [F] everywhere
But there's one place I really [C] like to go
_ _ [Fm] Where the land is big and wide [Bb] and tall dark [F] ringers ride
On the plains of Peppermint Artie [C] where the old Moyle [F] River flows
_ [Gm] [F] Tough riders there of course, [Bb] in a truck or [F] on a horse
And they'll really teach you things you [C] wouldn't know
_ [F] It's excitement to the full [Bb] if you're out there [F] chasing bulls
On the plains of Peppermint Artie [C] where the old Moyle [F] River flows
_ _ [Bb]
Where the kangaroos still bow [F] and sunlander off the rugged ground
The anthills and the old [C] pandanus grow
_ [Fm]
Yes, and every day to Sunday [Bb] if you catch them there on Monday
On [F] the plains of Peppermint Artie where [C] the old [F] Moyle River flows _
[Bb] Lee, oh, Lee, [Fm] oh, Lee, _ oh, Lee
Oh, Lee, [C] oh, Lee, [F] oh, Lee _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] Now _ _ [Bb] [Fm] the men out on the stock camps [Bb] are the finest [F] horsemen known
And they'll work for weeks without a [C] break or spell
_ [Fm] They're the backbone of our [Bb] beefsteaks and I've mentioned this [F] before
[Bb] And [Fm] it's a story that [C] I'm [F] always proud to tell
_ _ _ _ May the march of time [Bb] never ever bring too many changes
[F] To a way of life you people [C] love and prize _
[Fm] May the years ahead be good [Bb] ones and you never lose your customs
With [F] old Peppermint Artie Hill [C] looking down [Fm] so old and wise
All together now
[Bb] And the kangaroos still bow and [F] sunlander off the rugged ground
The anthills and the old [C] pandanus grow _
[Fm] Yes, and every day to [Bb] Sunday if you catch them there on Monday
[F] On the plains of Peppermint Artie where the old Moyle River flows
Let's go again [Bb] now
Where the kangaroos still bow and [Fm] sunlander off the rugged ground
I'll see you all mate
Thanks for coming
We'll see you next [C] year
You sure will Goodbye [Gm] Yeah
Yes, and every [F] day to Sunday [Bb] if you catch them there on Monday
[F] On the plains of old Peppermint Artie [C] where the old [F] Moyle River flows I'll say
Dildly, [C] _ [Fm] dildly, dildly _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] That's [C] _ [F]
