Verse 1
C

Old Pee

Wee had a fickle look

from too much alcohol
G

But his missus kept a green stick
C

to keep him in control

He rarely left his sunken bed
G

in the breeze way out the back

His only job was split the wood
C

or the missus whip would crack

Now the woman was a mighty cook,
G

very wide across the bum

The station kids, black and white,
C

were allowed to call her mum

Her kitchen was a bakery
G

for an outback appetite

For big slabs of bully beef
C

or good old Vegemite
F

Some of the men were bachelors,

some of the men were not
C
G

It didn't worry the station cook,

she'd feed the bloody lot
C
F
C

Visitors from the Iser
F
C

or tourists in a bus
G

With a huge pot of strong tea

and a minimum of fuss

C

Now the station pet was a

Brahmin bull
G

You could pat him on the head

He'd never seen a sale yard

He was station bred
C

I tried to take his picture
G

With a stockman and a gin

But they faded into the scenery
C

with a drought -resistant grin

To the famous brunette races
G

they'd head off for the fun

Where the beer flowed like a river
C

there was coke and Bundy rum

The station boys were favourites

to win the tug -of -war
G

The townies weren't prepared
C

to risk another broken jaw
F

Some of the men were bachelors,

some of the men were not
C
G

It didn't worry the station cook,

she'd feed the bloody lot
C
F

Visitors from the Iser

ought to recinna -bus
C
G

With a huge pot of strong tea
C
G

and a minimum of fuzz
C

It's the last of the outback stations

owned by a family
G

Hard fought by a pioneer

of the Northern Territory
C

I hope it won't be swallowed up

by a public company
G

And fade into the heat haze

of outback history
C

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    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

    Rose the Black Cat

    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 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
