    Verse 1
    Now 
    folk's 
    will 
    tell 
    you 

    Birdsville is 
    a little 
    town 

    You'd 
    miss 
    it 
    if 
    you blink 

    But I 
    took 
    a trip 
    out 
    that 
    way 

    And 
    it's 
    not 
    the sort 
    of 
    town 

    Most 
    people 
    think 
    . 

    Verse 2
    They 
    told 
    me 
    just 
    a hundred 
    people 

    Make 
    this 
    little 
    town 
    their 

    humble 
    home 

    But as 
    I came 
    in 
    from 
    Bedourie 

    I 
    found 
    I most 
    certainly 
    was 
    not 
    alone 


    Verse 3
    They're 
    30 deep 
    in 
    the street 

    By 
    the pub 
    in 
    the scrub 

    A sea 
    of 
    sozzled faces 

    Pack 
    your 
    bag, 
    hump 
    your swag 

    Out 
    the back, 
    down 
    the 
    track* 

    To 
    the 
    Birdsville Races! 

    Verse 4
    *Last time 
    to Coda 
    Now 
    I've 

    seen 
    them 
    race 
    at Randwick 

    Where 
    admittedly 
    the track 

    is somewhat 
    greener 

    But dirt 
    and 
    dust 
    fit 
    the bill 
    quite 
    nicely 

    Out 
    there 
    by 
    the 
    Diamantina 

    Verse 5
    The 
    bookies 
    do 
    a roaring 
    trade 

    An
    d even 
    me, 

    an out- 
    and- 
    out 
    be
    ginner

    Put 
    2 bucks 
    each 
    way 
    on 
    Loquacity 

    Who 
    thundered 
    home 
    a winner 
    . 

    Verse 6
    They're 
    30 deep 
    in 
    the street 

    By 
    the 
    pub 
    in 
    the scrub 

    A sea 
    of 
    sozzled faces 

    Pack 
    your 
    bag, 
    hump 
    your swag 

    Out 
    the back, 
    down 
    the 
    track

    Interlude 1

    the 
    Birdsville Races! 








    Verse 7
    They'd 
    flown, 
    they 
    drove, 
    they 
    bussed 
    it 

    It 
    was 
    really 
    nothing 
    short 

    of 
    an 
    inva
    sion 
    . 

    And 
    Brooksey had 
    his pan- 

    tech 
    full 
    of booze 

    Ready 
    for 
    the big 
    oc
    casion 

    Come 
    Verse 8

    the visitors 

    and 

    Dagwood vans

    parted 

    And I won
    der 
    if 
    the first 

    old 
    Birds
    ville jockey 

    Knew 
    just 
    what 
    it was 
    he 
    started! 

    Verse 9
    They're 
    30 deep

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
