Tom: A
E5 E7
Sitting on the sack with a cat on my lap, when I heard the screen door slam
E5 E7
Next thing you know, she's driving down the road, taking the Kombi Van
A A7
Cried me a river, cried all night long
E5 E7
Left me no, not a glimmer of hope, saying I'm out of this dump I'm gone
[Chorus]
B7 A
Stick your honey-moon shack, they don't call this living
A7 E7 Edim7
Out here at the back of the Birdsville Track
[Verse]
E5
Well I've never been driven, when it comes to women
E7 E5
They always get the better of me, stockman at best
E7
I come from the West, they always turn around and leave
A A7
Tired of living, swallowing dust and sand and flies
E5 E7
Don't take long I’ll do the city run, to find a soph-ophisticated guy
[Chorus]
B7 A
Stick your honey-moon shack, they don't call this living
A7 E7 Edim7
Out here at the back of the Birdsville Track
[Bridge]
A A7
Well I mailed my letter from the general store and an answer did come back
E5 E7
From the sweetest thing you ever did see, sent her photograph
A A7
Well I found her in the lonely hearts of a country magazine
B7 A E7
Good things come to those who wait, better than never, its better to leave
[Solo]
E5 E7 E5 E7 E5 E7 E5 E7 A A7 B7 A E7
[Verse]
E5 E7
Well one of these days, I'll find me a babe, that loves this out-back life
E5 E7
And this one that's coming could be the woman, and maybe she's just right
A A7
Hide in the desert, we'll be counting all the stars
E5 E7
Holding me tight, all through the night, it never would be so hard
[Chorus]
B7 A
Love that honey-moon shack, we’ll call this living
A7 E7 Edim7
Out here at the back of the Birdsville Track
B7 A
Love that honey-moon shack, we’ll call this living
A7 E7 Edim7
Out here at the back of the Birdsville Track
B7 A
Love that honey-moon shack, we’ll call this living
A7 E7 Edim7
Out here at the back of the Birdsville Track
B7 A
Love that honey-moon shack, we’ll call this living
A7 E7
Out here at the back of the Birdsville Track
