THE SHED
[Intro]
A D E A
[Verse]
ANow did ya ever wake up in the morning DOn the wrong side of the bed
A Ebit confused and yawning You go straight out the back to Aya  shed
Yeah all Australian boys need a Dshed  A Eplace where he can go  Somewhere to clear his head
T thAink about the things his woman Dsaid EYeah all Australian boys need Aa shed
[Verse]
AA joint to learn to read and write DTo work on his bike at night
TEo grow up as he likes To grow anything under lights
A Aplace to keep his tools DNuts and bolts and drills
TEo hang a hide to hide the dried Oh hang and pay the Abills
[Verse]
AWell my old shed she leaks a bit The Droof is caving in
ENothing that a bloke can't fix With a few spare sheets of Atin
AThe beams are old telegraph poles WDhite ants have eaten out
SEhe creaks and sways on windy days And leans towards the Asouth
[Verse]
AAt the back of the shed where the dogs are fed Near Dlast years bales of lucern
SEticky tall green weeds Came up from thrown out seeds
AAll it took was bantum poop I Dwatered 'em once and they grew some
EShould be prime about Easter time If no nosy neighbour steals Dem
[Verse]
AYeah all Australian boys need a  Dshed To  Eweld up broken gates
Aplace for all his mates To Acome round Sunday arvo for a  Djam
EA place to make a racket Find the pipe and pack it
AThink about the things his woman  Dsaid Yeah  Eall Australian boys need a  Ashed
Yeah  Eall Australian boys need a  Ashed
Yeah  Eall Australian boys need a  Ashed
