THE OLD BARK HUT
Australian folk song
Key: D

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