[Chorus]
C G
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie we'll turn on a big barbeque
F C
Invite all the cockies and ringers and the traveller that’s passin' through
F
They'll be plenty of song and yahooing and I'll bet on a punch up or two
C G C
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie we'll have a Pooncarie type do
[Verse 1]
C G
On the banks of the stately old Darling we'll sing and we'll dance in the scrub
F C
Cut a track the dust like big meat ants from the river to the telegraph pub
F
cause the boys the bush they play harder then their cousins, the city folk do
C G C
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie, hey, we'll likely be downin' a few
[Interlude]
C F F C
G G C D G C
[Verse 2]
C G
Now the anglers will swarm in their thousand when they hear that the river is right
F C
and the whisper goes out through the bushland there’s a flush and the cods on the bight
F
they'll come with their cross lines and gill nets and millions of stubbies and cans
C G C
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie, ho, we'll have a stampede on our hands
[Verse 3]
C G
Now they’re building a motel and restaurant a place where the knobs can all camp
F C
no use if you're big time to rough it for the bush can get windy and damp
F
They'll be some big holes in the bar room with the big ones still getting away
F C G C
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie we'll hear some good stories I'd say
[Solo]
C C C
Eat your heart out guitar players

[Verse 4]
D A7
Now the old town might tend to get lively when the bulldust has gone from the track
G D
allowing the lout big towns to go a bit further out back
G
they shoot up the signs at the roadside and wreck everything out of spite
D A7 D
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie, oh, I see some good bashings in sight
[Chorus]
D A7
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie, oh, we'll turn on a big barbeque
G D
Invite all the cockies and ringers and the traveller that’s passin' through
G
They'll be plenty of song and yahooing and I'll bet on a punch up or two
D A7 D
When the bitumen reaches Pooncarie, hey, we'll have a Pooncarie type do
