Territory Ringer Chords by Slim Dusty

[D] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ I was born on the [C] Murrinjiah, tell you mate, I'm a dinky [F] die-ringer from the Northern [Bb] Territory.
[F] _
[Bb] My mother raised me on the [C] track, my daddy never did come [F] back, so I'm not too sure about my [Bb] pedigree. _
But I'm a bloke what's knocked [C] around, I've seen the city, seen the [F] town, and I'm well known in social [Bb] circles too.
[F] _
[Bb] At the Matter Anker races [C] I get up and show my faces, [F] and the ladies take in everything [Bb] I do. _
Yeah, I've drank Georgina water [C] and I've crossed the Queensland border, [F] and I've danced the clay pan boogie [Bb] through the night.
[F] _
[Bb] Been droving down the Coober [C] and while in a drunken stupor, [F] with my weary breath blew out the [Bb] mid-mid-light.
Hey there, darling.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ _
Oh, I've boiled my court with a combi [C]-hole, a haunted place, oh, I've been [F] told, but all I saw was a bunya [Bb]-fiend, his mate.
[F] _
[Bb] They were lazing neath the coolie [C]-bar, yarning with a mad girl, [F] ah, well a pelican was fishing [Bb] round her mate. _
Oh, I lost my heart to Julia [C] Creek, a western beauty so to [F] speak, but I overstayed my welcome [Bb] thereabouts.
[F] _
[Bb] She heard me mention Alice [C] Springs, told me where to put my [F] ring, and old man Sandy Flinders [Bb] threw me out. _
So I rolled my swag and hit the [C] track, I never stopped, I [Am] never looked [F] back, till I was in the [Bb] Northern Periphery.
[F] _
[Bb] I'm never gonna roam no [C] more, I'm gonna live till I'm ninety [F]-four, if I ain't dead then you can come and [Bb] bury me.
Here we go again, Charlie.
_ _ Oh [C] yeah. _
Oh, [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ roll me up in my old swag [C]-wrap, tie me down with a hobble [F]-strap, lay me deep where the dogs can't [Bb] dig me up.
[F] _
[Bb] And I don't care where you bury [C] me, as long as it's in the territory [F] and not too far from the matter, [Bb] thank a bub. _
Oh, I've drank Georgina water [C] and I've crossed the Queensland border, [F] and I've danced the clay-pan boogie [Bb] through the night.
[F] _
[Bb] Me drovin' down the Cooper [C] and while in a drunken stupor, [F] with my beery breath blew out the [Bb] mid-mid-life.
That's it, there's no more.
