Granny's Little Gunyah
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
G D Em C D G
C D G C G
[Verse 1]
G D Em C D G
Just above the Archer where the wild scrub cattle roam
C D G C G
There’s a little wisp of smoke in the air
D Em C D G
From a corrugated station house, the Jacksons call their home
C D G C G
Near the cattle yards down there in the gully
[Verse 2]
D Em C D G
Granny Dawn will greet you just as sweet as apple pie
C D G C G
With a cake and king size kettle on the boil
D Em C D G
She drags the rusty gate with a welcome in her eye
C D G C G
She loves her little gunyah in the gully
[Verse 3]
G D Em C D G
And they don’t wear no shoes unless they saddle up a horse
D Em D
Or take the shoppin’ wagon into town
G D Em C D G
But it’s a long way to Weipa, it can wait another week
C D G C G
Till the dust from the muster settles down
[Instrumental]
G D Em C D G
D Em D
G D Em C D G
C D G C G
[Verse 4]
G D Em C D G
You’re duckin’ in the doorway if you’re nearly six foot tall
C D G C G
The beams of stringy bark are pretty low
D Em C D G
Billy hangs his hat on the longhorns on the wall
C D G C G
A cool siesta down there in the gully
[Verse 5]
G D Em C D G
And the old Crown cooker smokes the kitchen sooty black
D Em D
And wild pigs eat the mangoes in the yard
G D Em C D G
But Granny finds it easy just to leave it as it is
C D G C G
She loves her little gunyah in the gully
[Verse 6]
G D Em C D G
And “Ooh” she says, “It’s gettin’ cold”, it’s twenty-five degrees
D Em D
But she’s got special jam drops in a jar
G D Em C D G
And Grandkids gather round, little hands around the cocoa
C D G C G
They love her little gunyah in the gully
[Instrumental]
G D Em C D G
D Em D
[Outro]
G D Em C D G
Just when you were thinkin’ that the good old days were gone
C D G C G
There’s Granny’s little gunyah in the gully
