    The 
    main 
    thing, 
    mate, is we're 
    Verse 1

    on 
    the 
    road, 
    it's 
    what 
    we 
    want 
    to 
    do. 

    Head
    ing 
    for 
    the 

    Alice 
    with 
    a 
    dinkum 
    show 
    and 
    crew. 

    With the 
    ruggedest 
    rig 
    that 
    we 
    could 
    find, 

    no 
    rattle 
    trap 
    would 
    do. 

    Just 
    learning 
    how 
    to 
    live 
    the 
    life 
    in the 

    land 
    of the 
    kangaroo. 

    Now 
    look 
    out 
    for 
    the 
    shorthorns, 

    the 
    cattle 
    signs 
    are 
    warned 

    You'll 
    see 
    them 
    dead 
    be
    side 
    the 
    road, 

    I 
    guess 
    they 
    won't 
    be 
    mourned 

    Some 
    people 
    won't 
    by 
    travel 
    and 
    lights, 

    I 
    guess 
    it hasn't 
    dawned 

    Like 
    mugs 
    who 
    write 
    their 
    names 
    on 
    rocks, 

    this 
    countryside 
    is 
    scorned 

    Well 
    we 
    hit 
    the 

    Barclay 

    Tablelands 
    and 
    what a 
    plain 
    to 
    see 

    It 
    really 
    is 
    a 
    big 
    land, 

    it's 
    open 
    and 
    it's 
    free 

    The 
    home 
    of the 

    Flying 

    Doc
    tor, 
    what a 
    page 
    in 
    history 

    We're 
    heading 
    for 
    the 
    big 
    heart, 
    the 

    Northern 

    Territ
    ory 

    Well 
    another 
    day, 
    how 
    many 
    k's, 

    el
    even 
    hundred 
    odd 

    We're 
    smack 
    bang 
    in 
    the 

    middle 
    of 
    the 
    famous 

    River 

    Tod
    d 

    And 
    racing 
    up 
    the 
    river 
    bed, 

    it 
    struck 
    me 
    very 
    odd 

    Boat
    s 
    with 
    hairy 
    legs, 

    it's 
    true, 
    so 
    help 
    me 

    God. 

    Well 
    I 
    met 
    the 
    local 
    po
    et, 

    he 
    said his 
    name 
    was 

    Ted. 

    He 
    didn't 
    know 
    how 
    to 
    play 
    guitar, 

    he 
    played 
    a 
    box 
    in
    stead. 

    It's 
    all 
    so 
    very 
    sim
    ple, 

    just 
    drink 
    two 
    dozen 
    cans. 

    Squeeze 
    it 
    like 
    a 
    bagpipe 
    and 

    belt 
    it 
    with 
    your 
    hands. 

    I 
    met 
    a 
    girl 
    named 

    Lola 
    dan
    cing 
    up 
    a 
    storm 

    She 
    had 
    a 

    German 
    back
    ground, 
    she 
    said 
    her 

    name 
    was 

    Braun 

    Three 
    quarters 

    Abori
    gine 
    and 

    Irish 
    blood 
    as 

    well 

    Wheth
    er 
    she 
    had 
    any 

    land 
    rights 
    is 
    bloody 

    hard 
    to 
    tell 

    We've 
    had 
    our 
    disappoint
    ments, 

    but 
    there's 
    no 
    way 
    I'd 
    trade 

    Until 
    I've 
    played 
    in 
    every 
    town 

    and 
    all 
    my 
    dues 
    are 
    paid 

    And 
    when I've 
    stored 
    those 
    pictures 

    where 
    memories 
    never 
    fade 

    I'll 
    find 
    that 
    dreamy 
    bungalow 

    by the 
    river 
    in 
    the 
    shade 

    But 
    the 
    main 
    thing, 
    mate, is we're 
    on 
    the 
    road, 

    it's 
    what 
    we 
    want 
    to 
    do 

    Head
    in' 
    for 
    the 

    Alice 
    with 
    a 
    vinkum 
    show 
    and 
    crew 

    With 
    a 
    ruggedness 
    rigged 
    that 
    we 

    could 
    find 
    a 
    rattletrap 
    would 
    do 

    Just 
    learnin' 
    how 
    to 
    live 
    the 
    life 

    on the 
    land 
    of the 
    kangaroo

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
