The New Australian Bushman Chords by Slim Dusty

[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ I came out to Australia [F#] and I left my native home
I [G#] came out to Australia and to [C#] Queensland I did roam
I'm working in the [F#] bulldust on the beef roads out the back
And [G#] from the sun and wind and heat I'm burnt [C#] and nearly black
_ _ I gave away spaghetti and [F#] that nice salami too
[G#] And now I eat the steak and eggs [C#] like all Australian do
I like Australian women and [F#] I like Australian beer
[G#] I'm a new Australian bushman and I'm gonna stay [C#] right here
_ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ We go into the township [F#] when the payday she come round
[G#] And like the old Australians I [C#] drink for choking down
I like Australian women [F#] and I like Australian drugs
[G#] But I do not like Australian men to call me [C#] greasy wog
_ I work for building bridges and I [F#] work for pitching stones
And my [G#] new Australian fingers they are [C#] worked right to the bones
I learn to swear like Aussies [F#] and get drunk like Aussies do
[G#] I'm a new Australian bushman and I'm [Fm] really telling you
[C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
I learn for backing horses and I [F#] learn for playing swi
I [G#] learn for slinging bulldust like [C#] Australians ding-de-di
I learn for cursing weather [F#] when the sun beat on my head
I'm a [G#] new Australian bushman when all was [C#] done and said
I try to save my money [F#] and no more I work around
[G#] Get married, have a family [C#] in some happy bushman town
I like the spaces open [F#] underneath the sunshine sky
[G#] And soon I'll be an old Australian really [C#] ding-de-di
Yes, I came out to Australia [F#] and I left my native home
[G#] I came out to Australia and to Queensland [C#] I did roam
I'm working in the bulldust [F#] on the beef roads out the back
[G#] And from the sun and wind and heat I'm burned to nilly black _
