Yodel
[Verse]
D
Now I've been around Australia
G D
And I've travelled everywhere
A
But there's one place I really like to go
D
Where the land is big and wide
G D
And tall dark ringers ride
On the plains of Peppimenarti
A D
Where the old Moyle River flows
D
Tough riders there of course
G D
In a truck or on a horse
A
And they'll really teach you things you didn't know
D
It's excitement to the full
G D
If you're out there chasing bulls
By the plains of Peppimenarti
A D
Where the old Moyle River flows
[Chorus]
G
And the Kangaroo still bounds
D
On that rough and rugged ground
A
The ant hills and the old pandanas grow
D
Yes and everyday's a Sunday
G
If you're catching Barramundi
D
By the plains of Peppimenarti
A D
Where the old Moyle River flows
[Instrumental]
D A D D A D G D A D
Yodel Yodel
[Verse]
D
Now the men out on the stock camps
G D
Are the finest riders known
A
And they'll work four weeks without a break or spell
D
They're the back bone of our beef steaks
G D
And I've mentioned this before
And it's a story that I'm
A D
Always proud to tell
D
May the march of time never
G D
Ever bring to many changes
A
To a way of life you people love and prize
D
May the years ahead be good ones
G D
And you never lose your customs
With old Peppimenarti Hill
A D
Looking down so old and wise
