Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) It's a (D major) long
road to Coober (A major) Pedy
(G major) Trying to (D major) write a note to you (G major)
You can (D major) tell by the shaky hands (G major)
It's not an (D major) easy (A major) thing to do
(G major) You can (D major) see by the smudgy paper
(G major) there's (D major) bulldust in (A major) the (G major) air
There's no (D major) piece of cake on a (B minor) gravel road
(G major) to (A major) write you that I care (D major) (A major) (G major)
But the (A major) government will
tar the road (D major) by (A major) 1988
(D major) But for (A major) poor old Bob and his (D major) trucky mates
It's at (E major) least ten years too (A major) late
Still it got us to where they (D major) mine
Those (A major) sparkling milky jew (D major) els
Where men can strike (A major) it (G major) rich
Where (A major) (G major) fate has struck at (A major) fool
Well, we (D major) drank and talked (A major) to the loc (B minor) als
And (G major) ate (D major) at the Opal Inn (G major)
The (D major) vegetable soup I'm
(B minor) pleased to (G major) say
Wasn't (D major) out of a heated (A major) tin (G major)
And the (D major) bowls were more like (A major) gold (G major) pans
And (D major) boy, the broth (A major) was great
(G major) It re (D major) minded me of my (B minor) grandma,
so I (A major) ordered another plate (D major) (A major) (G major)
In a (A major) dusty gleam -to -town, (D major)
with a (A major) dusty digger's (D major) face
Where (A major) you can find an (D major) opal, Eddie,
(E major) you can stand the pace (A major)
Where you can be a min (D major) er
no mat (A major) ter what your race
(D major) Where you can (A major) dig a (B minor) hole
an (A major) d live and (G major) die without a (A major) trace
Well the (D major) bloke at the local garage
(G major) knew the (D major) town he now despised
(G major) He (D major) said it really had character, (G major)
but now it's all (A major) commercial (D major) (G major)
Well I'm (D major) blood (A major) if I could see (G major) it,
it had a (D major) hell of a way to go (G major)
But his (D major) petrol was dear as (B minor) poison, (G major)
so I (A major) guess he ought to know (D major) (A major) (G major)
In a (A major) dusty lean -to town, (D major)
with a (A major) dusty digger's (D major) face
Where (A major) you can find an (D major) opal,
if you (E major) can stand the pace (A major)
Where you can be a (D major) miner
no mat (A major) ter what your (D major) age
Where you can dig a (B minor) hole
an (A major) d live and (G major) die without a (A major) trace
Well the (D major) blacks call
them whitefel (A major) la burrows
(G major) Like (D major) anthills everywhere
(G major) And (D major) blowers pop through those
(G major) sandstone dumps
Lookin' like (D major) hammerheads in the (G major) air
In the (D major) middle of nothing but saltbush (G major)
It's (D major) alien and (A major) it's (G major) rare
There's no (D major) piece of cake on a (B minor) gravel road
(G major) To (A major) write you that I care (D major) (A major) (G major)
In a (A major) dusty lean -to town (D major)
With a (A major) dusty figure's (D major) face,
where (A major) you can find an (D major) opal
If (E major) you can stand the place, (A major)
where you can be a miner
(D major) No (A major) matter what your (D major) race,
where you can dig a (G major) hole
We'll (A major) live and (G major) die without
dream (A major) s
