A Pub With No Beer chords by Slim Dusty (Official Version)

Verse 1
C
Oh, lonesome away
F
from your kindred and all
G7
By the campfire at night,
C
we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome,
F
morbid or drear
G7
Than to stand in the bar,
C
of a pub with no beer
Now the publican's anxious,
F
for the quota to come
G7
And there's a faraway look,
C
on the face of the bum
The maid's gone all cranky,
F
and the cook's acting queer
G7
C
Oh, what a terrible place is a pub with no beer

Verse 2
C
Then the stockman rides up,
F
with his dry dusty throat
G7
He breasts up to the bar,
C
and pulls a wad from his coat
But the smile on his face,
F
quickly turns to a sneer
G7
As the barman said sadly,
C
the pubs got no beer
Then the swaggie comes in,
F
smothered in dust and flies
G7
He throws down his roll
C
and rubs the sweat from his eyes
But when he is told,
F
he says, "What's this I hear?
G7
I've trudged fifty flamin' miles
C
to a pub with no beer"
Verse 3
C
Now there's a dog on the v'randah,
F
for his master he waits
G7
But the boss is inside,
C
drinking wine with his mates
F
He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear
G7
It's no place for a dog,
C
round a pub with no beer
And old Billy the blacksmith,
F
the first time in his life
G7
Why he's gone home cold sober,
C
to his darling wife
He walks in the kitchen,
F
she says "You're early, Bill dear"
G7
But then he breaks down and tells her,
C
the pubs got no beer
Verse 4
C
Oh, it's hard to believe
F
that there's customers still
G7
But the money's still tinkling
C
in the old ancient till
The wine dots are happy
F
and I know they're sincere
G7
When they say they don't care
C
if the pub's got no beer
Outro 1
C
So it's-a lonesome away
F
from your kindred and all
G7
By the campfire at night,
C
we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome,
F
morbid or drear
G7
Than to stand in the bar
C
of that pub with no beer
F
