THE DROVER’S DREAM chrom
Australian folk song
Key: G

-1    3    -3   -4    -3    3
One night when trav-‘ling sheep,  
-1 -1   2   -2*  3  2  -1
my com-pan-ions lay a-sleep 
 -1   -1   3  3  3
There was not a star 
3   3  3   -2*  3  -3
to ‘lu-mi-nate the sky 
-1 -1   3   -3 -4 -3   3
I was dream-ing I sup-pose,  
-1  -1  2    -2*  3   2    -1
for my eyes were part-ly closed 
 3  -3 -4 -4   -4     3  -3   -3 
When a ver-y strange pro-ces-sion 
  -3  -2* 3
passed me by 
  3    -3    -4 -4 -4  -4 -4
First there came a kan-ga-roo  
 -4   4   -5  -5  -5   -4   3
with his swag of blan-kets blue   
-1 3  3   3  3   3    3 -2*  3   -3
a din-go ran be-side him as his mate 
 -1   2    3    -3    -4  -3  3
They were trav-‘lin’ might-y fast 
-1   -1    2  -2* 3   2     -1
but they shout-ed as they passed 
 3 -3  -4  -4 -4  3  -3
We'll have to jog a-long, 
 -3  -3   -2*  3
it's get-ting late
