Chords for My Dog Nui Dat - Dale Duncan

[E] _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ [F#] _ [E] _
_ _ I was driving [B] down a dusty road [A] in the northwest [E] of our state
_ My eyes were [B] kind of weary [A] for the afternoon [B] was late
I _ [A]
stopped [B] beside a welcome sign at the Wobbega [C#m] Hotel
I _ [A] thought I'd get a bite to eat [B] and to rest there [E] for a spell _ _ _ _ _
_ On that [B] pub veranda [A] was a sight I'd [E] never forget
_ His blue [B] eyes looked into [A] mine although we'd [B] never met
He [A] was wearing [B] cut-off jungle [E] greens and a faded old [C#m] green hat
_ [A] Then he introduced me to his dog [B] that he named [E] Nui-Dat
_ _ _ _ He said, when I [B] left the army, mate, [A] I just couldn't [E] let it go
I tried to [B] live a normal life [A] but that wasn't to [B] be so
So [A] we wandered [B] round the country, [E]
[G#m] this old [C#m] dog and me
We [A] ain't got much to show but [B] we like [E] living free _
_ _ _ [D#m] He [E] said, most folk think I'm [B] crazy [A] and maybe [E] they're right
But they don't [B] know the torment [A] or the dreams I [B] have at night _
[A] I've lost good [B] friends through drinking [E] and I'm [C#m] not proud of that
But [A] there's one that doesn't judge me, _ [B] that's my old dog [E] Nui-Dat _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Nui-Dat
[E] But _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can [B] tell a decent bloke [A] from a hundred [E] yards away
_ I reckon [B] there's a reason [A] that you've passed [B] out this way
[E] So [A] come and [B] sit beside me, [E] we need to [C#m] have a chat
You [A] see, I'm a little worried [B] about my old dog Nui [E]-Dat
I _ _ _ _ trained him [B] as a soldier [A]
just for a [E] bit of fun
_ Though he's never [B] seen a bayonet [A] or he'll never [B] see a gun
_ [A] But when I [B] yell out, contact, [E] he hits the [C#m] ground and waits _
[A] And when I yell out, RSM, [B] well he sits up [E] nice and straight
_ But _ _ _ mate, [B] I won't be round for [A] long, it's more like [E] weeks and years
_ And he pulled the [B] old dog to his [A] side, I saw a [B] hint of tears
_ [A] I'm going to [B] ask a favour, [E] please don't [C#m] deny me that
_ _ [A]
When you drive away from here, _ [B] could you take Nui [E]-Dat?
_ _ _ _ _ So I'm driving [B] down a dusty [A] road in the north-west [E] of our state _
_ Trying to [B] reach the border [A] before it gets too [B] late
I [A] have a [B] gift in my [E] hand, it's a faded [C#m] old green hat
_ [A] And sitting up here next to me [B] is my new friend [E] Nui-Dat _
[A] Yeah, he's sitting up here like an RSM, [B] my new friend [E] Nui-Dat _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ Thanks for watching!
