Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major) I'll sing you a
song (B minor) (D major) of the far north west
In the days when the (F sharp minor) land was young (E major)
And (A major) the durex (D major) started out (B minor) over (G major) land
(G minor) To the (D major) great old (A major) river run (D major)
Big John, Michael, Jerry and (G major) Pat (A major) sy
(D major) They were leaders brave (F sharp minor) and true
(E major) And (A major) many (D major) other names
I could mention (G major)
From (G minor) the (D major) Cooper and the old (A major) Bak (D major) u
But (G major) John Cuder (D major) ack,
he (G major) never turned back (D major)
He (G major) blazed a (D major) trail to (B minor) glory
Praise (D major) the Lord (B minor) when
he (A major) found the river (G major) old
In the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory
In the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory
They (D major) loaded up the (B minor) stores
on the (G major) bullock (D major) trays
The last of the (F sharp minor) hungry years (E major) (A major)
With a (D major) mighty herd of (G major) cattle
rode (G minor) the (D major) gallant pi (A major) oneer (D major) s
The ringers and the drovers
pushed (G major) them (A major) on (D major)
In a steady moving (F sharp minor) line (E major)
(A major) With the (D major) wo men and
their little chil (G major) dren
In (G minor) the (D major) wagons closed (A major) behind (D major)
But John (G major) Durack (D major) , he never turned back
He (G major) blazed the (D major) trail to (B minor) glory
He praised (D major) the (B minor) Lord
when he (A major) found the river old (G major)
In the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory
In the great (D major) Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory
There was many (D major) a (B minor) night
when (D major) the (G major) cattle (A major) ran (D major) in fright
before (F sharp minor) the storms (E major)
And (A major) the (D major) lightning went flash
like the (G major) devil's fork
(G minor) and (D major) danced along (A major) their horns (D major)
The river crossings were (G major) deep (A major) in flood
(D major) It made a frantic hawk (F sharp minor) -moth swim
(E major) And (A major) the river (D major) was often red (B minor) with (G major) blood
(B flat major) As the (D major) hungry croc (A major) s moved (D major) in
But (G major) Don Durack (D major) , he never turned (G major) back (D major)
He (G major) glazed the (D major) trail through (B minor) Loving
He praised (D major) the (B minor) Loving, he (A major) found the river (G major) old
In the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory,
In the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory
The (D major) Diamantinas (B minor) ceased (G major) (A major) to flow
(D major) The land was (F sharp minor) bare from drought
(E major) But (A major) they (D major) rode on by
with their (G major) heads held (G minor) high
They'd (D major) left no room (A major) for doubt
(D major) With joyful hearts and
(G major) eyes (A major) that gleamed, (D major)
they reached that mighty (F sharp minor) fall (E major) (A major)
For (D major) there at last they'd
found (B minor) their dream, (G minor)
and they (D major) gave thanks to (A major) the Lord (D major)
But (G major) John Durack (D major) ,
he never turned (G major) back (B minor) ,
(D major) he (G major) blazed a (D major) trail to glory (B minor)
He praised (D major) the Lord
(B minor) when he (A major) found the river old (G major)
Oh, in the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territory, (B minor)
in the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory
He praised (D major) the Lord (B minor) when
he (A major) found the river
Oh, (G major) in the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory,
in the (D major) great Northwest (A major) Territ (B minor) ory
You
John Durack
