Aussie Balladeer Chords

[Verse 1]
N.C.
I'm just an Aussie balladeer
N.C.
I've been on the road for many a year
N.C.
I'll have a joke and I'll have a beer
N.C.                      E
But I'm happiest when I'm singing
 
[Verse 2]
     E
I'll take you where the dingoes howl
E
Way beyond the mallee fowl
  E
Beyond the plover and stubble quail
          B                E
Where the mulga sticks are ringing
 
[Chorus]
                            A
Where the shimmer slows you down
                            E
And you'll find the time to dream
                B
To open up your heart
                     E
To the beauty of the land
 
[Solo]
A   E   B   E
 
[Verse 3]
E
Park the truck at a shady spot
E
Find some gidgee and boil the pot
E
Take it easy, it's not so hot
       B            E
If you think of Mataranka
 
[Verse 4]
    E
And take someone to hold you tight
    E
The earth will keep you warm at night
       E
You've never seen the stars so bright
B                        E
Follow the map with your finger
 
[Chorus]
                            A
Where the shimmer slows you down
                            E
And you'll find the time to dream
                B
To open up your heart
                     E
To the beauty of the land
                            A
Where the shimmer slows you down
                            E
And you'll find the time to dream
                B
To open up your heart
                     E
To the spirit of the land
                B
To open up your heart
                     A     Am    E
To the spirit of the land
