The Frog chords by 
Slim Dusty
N/A•
Verse 1
D
G
Now I've listened to tales that the
C
oldsters told from Bourke to Camooweal
G
And on dusty tracks in the southern states
D
G
from Orbost to Warracknabeal
Some were grave and some were gay
C
and some with humour too
G
And each of the tellers always swore
D
G
that the tale that he told was true
Verse 2
G
Old Paddy the Dancer a swagman of note
C
who followed the 'Bidgee run
G
Found himself on the tucker track and
D
most of his food was done
G
So he pondered awhile and thought
C
at last as far as he could see
G
That he'd have to catch himself
D
G
a cod to cook on the coals for tea
Verse 3
G
So he rigged a line from binder twine that
C
he'd scrounged from a farmers hay
G
And then fashioned a hook from a rusty
D
nail that got stuck in his foot that day
G
Well he looked with pride on his fishing gear
C
and to try he could hardly wait
G
Then he saw at last as anglers do you must
D
G
cover your hook with bait
Verse 4
G
He remembered a tale that someone
C
told in the dim and distant past
G
That frogs were the things that the anglers
D
used for the fish to break their fasts
G
But frogs were as scarce as teeth on hens
C
or that's what he said to me
G
But he searched around till he found
D
G
a frog at the foot of a light wood tree
Verse 5
G
Well he stalked that frog on hands and knees
C
like big game hunters do
G
But a black snake coming the other
D
way had the same idea in view
G
But both of them grabbed together
C
but the snake was a fraction fast
G
It swallowed the frog but found itself
D
held in the swagman's grasp
G
Well he fished from his pocket a flask
Verse 6
G
C
he had of very potent grog
G
And said with a sigh it must be done
D
I want that flamin' frog
Verse 7
G
Well he squeezed that wriggling reptile's
C
neck til its jaws were opened wide
G
Then with tears in eyes he poured
D
the lot into the snakes' insides
G
Well it gave a gurgle and then a gulp
C
and then quite a twist or two
G
And there was that old frog in the
D
G
light of day almost as good as new
Verse 8
G
Well he grabbed that frog and hurried
C
away to bait up his rusty hook
G
And then lay back on the grassy bank by
D
the side of that peaceful brook
G
Then he felt a tap on his shoulderblade and
C
turned with eyes agog!!
G
And there was that snake all bleary
D
eyed in its mouth was another frog
G
Verse 9
Well that was the tale that was told to me
C
at a camp on the reedy flat
G
Maybe it's true or maybe not
D
you'd best be the judge of that
G
But what I can hardly believe is,
C
is the way that he liked the grog
G
He would give it away to a worthless
D
G
snake for the sake of a useless frog

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
