Slim Dusty - The Bogong Chords

[Intro]
A  B7  E
 
 
[Verse]
         E           B7             E
The snow leases have expired in the mountains
        A               B7        E
They’re all part of the Kosciusko Park
        A                         E
No more big mobs that way will be wand'rin
   F#                              B7
No more will the mountain heeler’s bark
    E                 B7          E
The mountain huts are now all deserted
    A                 B7       E
The mountain men have all disappeared
   A                         E
no yarns will be told in the lamplight
        A     B7                 E
No more early snow falls will be feared
 
 
[Chorus]
         A       B7              E
There'll no more big mobs on the Bogong
                                           A
In the summer where the snow grass goes to seed
                                   E
And the heather is bloomin' on the hillside
          A             B7                E
Where the big old bawly bullocks used to feed
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse]
     E        B7            E
They say it’s all a part of progress
       A                 B7        E
To put out the stock and open up a park
       A                         E
But to me it's kind of quiet and lonesome
   F#                                   B7
Without the whipcracks and the heeler’s bark
       E             B7          E
Or the bellow of the bull in the morning
        A            B7             E
ringing clear on the nippy mountain breeze
        A                       E
And the sheep bells away in the distance
   A            B7                   E
to me these are the only sounds that please
 
 
[Chorus]
         A       B7              E
There'll no more big mobs on the Bogong
                                           A
In the summer where the snow grass goes to seed
                                   E
And the heather is bloomin' on the hillside
          A             B7                E
Where the big old bawly bullocks used to feed
 
 
[Interlude]
A  B7  E
 
 
[Verse]
    E             B7                  E
The Tooma station heard of a thousand head or more
         A         B7             E
will not grace the mountain side again
        A                        E
and the sheep from Dromore and Bobundra
     F#                        B7
will no more ramble over snowy plain
  E                  B7            E
I know they say it's all a part of progress
       A                 B7        E
to put out the stock and open up a park
         A                                   E
but it's lonesome without sheep bells in the distance
        A                  B7              E
and without the whipcracks and the heelers bark
 
 
[Chorus]
         A       B7              E
There'll no more big mobs on the Bogong
                                           A
In the summer where the snow grass goes to seed
                                      E
and the tourists are hiking round the hillside
          A             B7                E
Where the big old bawly bullocks used to feed
 
 
[Tag]
          A             B7                E
Where the big old bawly bullocks used to feed
 
 
[Outro]
A  B7  E  E
