WITH MY SWAG ALL ON MY SHOULDER
Australian folk song
Key: D

 -3   -5   6 -55* -4-3 -7   -8    -7 
When first I left old Ire-land’s shore
 7   -6*   -5 -6*6 -55* -4
The yarns that we were told
5* -5   6   -5   5* -4  -3  -7  -8 -7
Of how the folks in far Aus-tra-li-a
  7    -6* 6  -5 6 -6*7* -7
Could pick up lumps of gold
-7   -8   7   -9  -8 -7   7    -6*
How gold dust lay in all the streets
-7  7   -6*    6   -5   -4
And mi-ner’s right was free
-3  -5  6 -55*-4-3 -7 -8    -7
Hur-rah I told my lov-ing friends
  7     -6* -5  -6*6 -55* -5
That’s just the place for me
 -7  -7  -8   7  -9 -8  -7 7 -6*
With my swag all on my shoul-der
 -7    7 -6* 6  -5  -4
Black bil-ly in my hand
 -3   -5  -5  6   -5  5* -4 -3  -7  -8 -7
I’ll trav-el the bush-es of Aus-tra-li-a
 7   7  -6*  -5 -6*6 -55*-5
Like a true born I-rish-man

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
