[F] [Bb] [C7] [F] 
[F] A city girl is happy with her [Bb] friends [C7] and family [F] life
[F] Appreciates a [C7] wine with him at [F] night
She [F] tries to find the sparkle, she [Bb] searches [C7] but it's [F] gone
With [F] lots of love she [C7] hopes he'll be al[F]right 
Her [F] man has gone all quiet he's not at [Bb] ease
He [C7] doesn't feel at home he's hard to [F] please
[F] He gets itchy feet he's tired of [Bb] noises in the street
He [C7] needs to walk for hours through the [F] trees
{c: }
You see a bushman can't survive on city [Bb] lights
[F] Opera rock and [C7] roll and height of [F] heights 
[F] His moon shines on the silver brigalow
[Bb] Shimmers down the inland river flow
[C7] Out there where the yellow belly [F] bites [F][Bb][C7][F]    
{c: }
[F] He's working with his hands today [Bb] on a [C7] building [F] site 
[F] He can smell the [C7] Cypress on the [F] floor 
[F] It takes him to a sandy ridge [Bb] out amongst the [F] pines 
No [F] shearin' no [C7] ploughin' any-[F]more 
His [F] kelpie dog is tired and fast asleep [Bb]  
[C7] Sick of searchin' gardens for the [F] sheep           
His [F] master doesn't whistle tunes [Bb] he's not in the mood
His [C7] love for open spaces runs too [F] deep
{c: }
No a bushman can't survive on city [Bb] lights
[F] Opera rock and [C7] roll and height of [F] heights
[F] His moon shines on the silver brigalow
[Bb] Shimmers down the inland river flow
[C7] Out there where the yellow belly [F] bites               
{c: }
[F] He tries to please his woman the [Bb] lady of his [F] life 
[F] He's standing at a [C7] party with a [F] plate       
She [F] finds him on the balcony [Bb] staring [C7] at the [F] moon
An old familiar [C7] face he can re[F]late
{sos}
No a bushman can't survive on city [Bb] lights
[F] Opera rock and [C7] roll and height of [F] heights 
{eos}  
His [F] moon shines on the silver brigalow
[Bb] Shimmers down the inland river flow
[C7] Out there where the yellow belly [F] bites  
{sos}
His [F] moon shines on the silver brigalow
[Bb] Shimmers down the inland river flow
[C7] Out there where the yellow belly [Bb] bites [F]
{eos}
