THE OLD BARK HUT chrom
Australian folk song
Key: D

-3  -5  -5 -5    6   -6* -6*
My name is Bob, the swag-man
-6* -6* -7  -7  -6* -5 -3
And be-fore you all I stand
-3   6    6   6 -6* 7   7    7
And I’ve had man-y ups and downs
7   -6*   -5   6    5*  -5
In trav-‘ling thru the land
-3 -7  -7   -7 -6* 7  7   7
I once was well to do my boys
 6  -6* -6*  6    -5    -4
But now I’m all stumped up
-3  -3    -5   -5 -9 -8 -7  -6*
And I’m forced to go on ra-tions
-5 6  -6*  -5  -5
In an old bark hut
-9 8* -8   7    7
In an old bark hut
-9 -8 -7   -6* -6*
In an old bark hut
-6*6  -5   -5 -9 -8 -7  -6*
I’m forced to go on ra-tions
-5 6  -6*  -5  -5
In an old bark hut
