Verse 1
A stockman named (G major) Jimmy Darcy
(C major) had a bad accident at Halls Creek,
outback Western Australia.
There was no doctor.
A telegraphist sent a Morse
code message
to Perth,
2 (G major) ,000 kilometres away. (C major)
The doctor's Morse code reply
enabled Jimmy Darcy's
mates to (G major) operate on him.
The operation (C major) was a success,
but (G major) Jimmy Darcy died of
other complications.
The Reverend John Flynn heard the story
and determined to start the (C major) Royal Flying
Doctor Service. (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) (C major)
I guess it was the (G major) death of Jimmy (C major) Darcy
That prompted the decision to provide (G major)
A (F major) mantle of (D minor) safety for the (G major) outback
And it (F major) took a man like John (G major)
Flynn to de (C major) cide
That the (F major) people of the bush
deserved (C major) a better life
The (F major) furthest boundary rider (D minor) ,
the (C major) lonely drover's (G major) wife
Deserved (F major) to be protec (C major) ted,
kept in (F major) touch, given a (C major) go
It (F major) took a man like (G major) Flynn to make it (C major) so
He (G major) was (C major) John Flynn, what (F major) a mighty man
(C major) His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback,
a (D major) truly wonderful plan
(G major) He was (C major) John Flynn, (F major) what a mighty man
(C major) His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback,
a (G major) truly wonderful plan. (C major)
Flynn mustered his sup (G major) porters
all around (C major) him,
And slowly to fruition came the (G major) plan.
Simpson, (F major) Trager, Barber,
his (C major) dear mate Hugh Mack (G major) ay,
And (F major) Hudson Fish,
they were (G major) loyal to a man. (C major)
(F major) Aeroplanes and wireless
would span (C major) this vast brown land
To reach the (F major) furthest outback fam (D minor) ily
the (C major) injured station had (G major)
Medicine (F major) for the (C major) bushies,
a (F major) model for the (C major) world
The (F major) Flying Doctor's
(G major) banner was un (C major) furled
And he was John Flynn, what (F major) a mighty man (C major)
His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback,
a (D major) truly wonderful plan
(G major) He was (C major) John Flynn, (F major) what a mighty man
(C major) His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback,
a (G major) truly wonderful plan (C major)
So rest easy in your (G major) grave now, Jimmy (C major) Darcy
In the knowledge that your
death was not in (G major) vain
The (F major) Flying Doctor Ser (D minor) vice is a (G major) -goin'
To (F major) handle all the (G major) suffering and the (C major) pain
The (F major) people of the bush
now have (C major) a better life
The (F major) furthest boundary rider
(D minor) only (C major) drove his wife (G major)
People (F major) of the (C major) bush kept in (D minor) touch, given a go (C major)
It (F major) took a man like (G major) Flynn to make it (C major) so
Yes, (G major) he was (C major) John Flynn, what (F major) a mighty man
(C major) His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback,
a (D major) truly wonderful plan
(G major) He was (C major) John Flynn, (F major) what a mighty man (C major)
His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback,
a (G major) truly wonderful plan
(C major) Yes, he was John Flynn
(F major) What a mighty man
(C major) His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback
A truly (D major) wonderful plan
(G major) He was (C major) John Flynn
What (F major) a mighty man
(C major) His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback
A (G major) truly wonderful plan
(C major) Yes, he was John Flynn
What (F major) a mighty man (C major)
His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback
A truly (D major) wonderful plan
(G major) He was (C major) John Flynn
What (F major) a mighty man
(C major) His (F major) vision for the (C major) outback
A (G major) truly wonderful plan
John Flynn
