A Flag Of Our Own by John Williamson
A Flag Of Our Own
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
D G D
Ned Kelly came round to see me today,
D G A
I guess I was dreaming - oh! oo oh
D G D G A D
Dumbfounded I couldn't think what to say Oh.oh.oh.oh.oh.oh.
G D
I beckoned him in, but he shook his head
A D
He said "I'm a bit grubby and a bit poorly bred
G D
I'd rather we yarned out the back in the shed
A D
I can leave m' boots on that way
[Instrumental]
G D A D
D G D
Well, he took a stiff whisky and laid down his gun
D G
He said "I won't keep you long, cause I've got to run
D G D G A D
Got to ride to the mountains before night is done" Oh.oh.oh.oh.oh.oh.
G D
He said "word's got around 'bout the music you play
A D
You truly believe in the fair dinkum way
G D
That the bush must remain for our spirit to stay
A D
And we must have a flag of our own!"
[Instrumental]
G D A D
D G D
He said "I learned long ago when I was still young
G A
Like the lizard that spits and sticks out his tongue
D G D G A D
Oh the way to get shot is to carry a gun Oh.oh.oh.oh.oh.oh.
G D
"There's a new world order!", the leaders all shout
A D
And everyone's frantic they're gonna miss out
G D
And the red, white and blues are still marching about
A D
Oh we must have a flag of our own"
[Instrumental]
G D A D
G D
'Cause this is Australia and that's where we're from
A D
We're not Yankee side-kicks or second class Poms
G D
And tell the Frogs what they can do with their bomb
A D
Oh we must have a flag of our own!
G D
'Cause this is Australia and that's where we're from
A D
We're not Yankee side-kicks or second class Poms
G D
And tell the Frogs what they can do with their bomb
A D
Oh we must have a flag of our own!
[Outro]
