Aussie BBQ Chords by The Aussie Bush Band

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
When the summer sun is shining [C] on Australia's happy [A]
land
[D] Round countless spires and stranger tie you see many [G] solemn bands
Of glum Australians watching [C] their lunch go [Am] up in flames
[D] By the smoke and smell you can plainly tell that it's barbie [G] time again
_ When the steaks are burning fiercely [C] and the smoke gets [Am] in your eyes
[D] Your snags all toast a bright blue face and your mouth [G] is full of lies
It's a national institution, [C] it's Australian [Am] through and through
[D] So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a [G] barbecue
_ [D] Now _ _ _ _ [G] _
the Scots eat lots of haggis, [C] the French [G] eat snails [Am] and frogs
[D] The Greeks go crackers over their moussaka's and the [G] Yankees love hot dogs
And the Welshman loves to [Bm] have a leek, [C] [G] the Irish [Am] love their stew
[D] But you just can't beat the half cooked meat of an Aussie [G] barbecue _
When the steaks are burning fiercely [C] and the smoke [Am] gets in your eyes
[D] Your snags all toast a bright blue face and your mouth [G] is full of lies
It's a national institution, [C] it's Australian [Am] through and through
[D] So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a [G] barbecue
_ [D] _ Now _ _ _ [G] _
there's a fly stuck in the margarine, [C] the bread [G] has gone [Am] rock [D] hard
The kids are fighting and the mozzies are biting
_ [G] There's bull ants in the esky [C] and the [G] beer is [Am] running out
[D] And what you saw in mum's cold slaw you just don't [G] think about
When the steaks are burning fiercely [C] and the smoke [Am] gets in your eyes
[D] Your snags all toast a bright blue face and your mouth [G] is full of lies
It's a national institution, [C] it's Australian [Am] through and through
[D] So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a [G] barbecue
_ [D] _ _ _ And _ [G] _
when the [D] barbie's over [C] [G] and you're homeward [Am] once again
[D] With a queasy tummy and the family dunny many lonely [G] hours you'll spend
You may find yourself reflecting, [C] [G] as many [Am] often do
[D] Come rain or shine that's the very last time you'll have a [G] barbecue _
When the steaks are burning fiercely [C] and the smoke [Em] gets in [Am] your eyes
[D] Your snags all toast a bright blue face and your mouth [G] is full of lies
It's a national institution, [C] it's Australian [Am] through and through
[D] So come on mate and grab your plate, let's have a [G] barbecue
[D] Come on mate, grab your plate, let's have a [G] barbecue
