[Verse]
C G C
Well, it looks like somebody has stirred things along
G C
Since the road to Pooncarie was turned into song
F
And its seems like we've gained just a little renown
C G C
so justly deserving this old darling town
[Verse]
C G C
Well for years we've put up with our dusty old track
G C
that served as a road in the patient outback
F
but now this back country will have some real class
C G C C7
with the bitumen reaching Pooncarie at last
[Chorus]
F C
And the lamps in the old pub will burn late at night
D G
there’s great expectations with asphalt in sight
F C G
with the boys on the roadworks all downin' a few
C
they’re hot and they’re thirsty from bringin' her through
[Interlude]
G C
[Verse]
C G C
In the bush we're determined to do it in style
G C
we've waited for years for that last half a mile
F
They cut all the bends from the worst of the track
C G C
and shortened the trip to Pooncarie and back
[Verse]
C G C
They'll be no holdin’ back ‘cause we've waited so long
G C
to be drinking a toast to our favourite song
F
they'll be lost yahooin’ and dancin’ of course
C G C C7
and all to the strains of that bitumen waltz
[Chorus]
F C
And the lamps in the old pub will burn late at night
D G
there’s great expectations with asphalt in sight
F C G
with the boys on the roadworks all downin' a few
C
they’re hot and they’re thirsty from bringin' her through
[Interlude]
G C
[Verse]
C G C
All the bush folk turned up on that warm April day
G C
to hear what the dignitaries all had to sa
F
and the Member was there to convey his regards
C G C
when the boys finished pourin' that last hundred yards
[Verse]
C G C
Our boots were all covered in bulldust and tar
G C
and the boys were all tonguein’ to get to the bar
F
but a new piece of history revealed on that plaque
C G C
showed the bitumen reaching Pooncarie at last
[Chorus]
F C
and the lamps in the old pub they burned late that night
D G
and the big celebrations went on till first light
F C G
with the boys on the road works all downin' a few
C C7
we let down our hair at that big barbeque
[Chorus]
F C
yes, the lamps in the old pub they burned late that nigh
D G
and that big celebration went on till first light
F C G
and now this back country has got some real class
C
with the bitumen reaching Pooncarie at last
[Tag]
G C
with the bitumen reaching Pooncarie at last
[Outro]
C G C
Hey!
