John Williamson  Campfire on the road
[Verse]
CCamping under the leopard wood   As the AMsun goes down and the fire is good
CFause I've managed to Gfind myself some brigaloCw
ACnd it wouldn't be the same I know ConAMtemplating the fire glow
WFithout my darlin' oGut here on the rCoad
NCow it's a very special thing  To AMhear the little crickets sing
And Fthere's no need to saGy another woCrd
JCust watch the campfire steal the show AMAnd let the inner feelings flow
RFelease the tenGsion out here on the roaCd
[Chorus]
WAMe must never let 'em tFake this lGife aCway
OAMld stock routes bFelong to oGne and aCll
DAMrovers, dreamers alFl agrGee, pCoets, AborigAMines
We Fhave a right to light a caGmpfire on the rCoad
AM      F  G  C      AM       F  G   C
[Verse]
SCome people like a river bed      WiAMth river gums high overhead
UFnroll the swag on a dGrift of river saCnd      
BCut me I search for different sites   I'AMm not afraid of Min Min lights 
And FI welcome spirits out Ghere on the roCad
ACnd I welcome many signs I see    In a lAMand that's been so good to me
TFhat lead me to thGe soul of inner Cman 
ACnd I can tell you there are days I AMsee the earth in different ways  
ThFat keep me searching ouGt here on the rCoad
[Chorus]
WAMe must never let 'eFm take thiGs life awCay
OAMld stock routes Fbelong to Gone and Call
DAMrovers, dreamers aFll agGree, Cpoets, AboriAMgines
We Fhave a right to light a cGampfire on the Croad

John Williamson Campfire on the road

[Verse]

C AM

Camping under the leopard wood As the sun goes down and the fire is good

F G C

Cause I've managed to find myself some brigalow

C AM

And it wouldn't be the same I know Contemplating the fire glow

F G C

Without my darlin' out here on the road

C AM

Now it's a very special thing To hear the little crickets sing

F G C

And there's no need to say another word

C AM

Just watch the campfire steal the show And let the inner feelings flow

F G C

Release the tension out here on the road

[Chorus]

AM F G C

We must never let 'em take this life away

AM F G C

Old stock routes belong to one and all

AM F G C AM

Drovers, dreamers all agree, poets, Aborigines

F G C

We have a right to light a campfire on the road

AM F G C AM F G C

[Verse]

C AM

Some people like a river bed With river gums high overhead

F G C

Unroll the swag on a drift of river sand

C AM

But me I search for different sites I'm not afraid of Min Min lights

F G C

And I welcome spirits out here on the road

C AM

And I welcome many signs I see In a land that's been so good to me

F G C

That lead me to the soul of inner man

C AM

And I can tell you there are days I see the earth in different ways

F G C

That keep me searching out here on the road

[Chorus]

We must never let 'em take this life away
