[Verse]
C F C
Where is the glory when war is won
Em F G
A man hits the bottle and belts his son
Am G F C
So I ran away to the Cattle Run
Em G F C
Where I learned to fight and swallow rum
Am G F C
And I learned to go barefoot you see
F C Dm G
Just like an Aborigine
Am G F C
For one of their tribe belonged to me
F C G C
The Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley
[Instrumental]
Am G F C F C Dm G Am G F C F C G C
C F C
But I could not marry the girl I adore
Em F G
Black and white was against the law
Am G F C
They chain you up to a Boab Tree
F C Dm G
For kissing an Aborigine
C F C
But a ringer's heart is immune to pain
Em F G
A bull rips your leg and you carry on
Am G F C
You clench your teeth and you cry alone
F C Dm G
And ride for a week till the poison's gone
C F C
But me and my dog we're not alone
Em F G
The Pension provides us with beef and a bone
Am G F C
I've given up drifting and drinking rum
F C Dm G
We're up and about before the sun
C F C
And I can still quarter a beast in a dash
Em F G
Have your freezer full of spare ribs in a flash
Am G F C
And I still dream of the one for me
F C Dm G
The Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley
Am G F C
Yes I still dream of the one for me
F C G C
The Prettiest Girl in the Kimberley
