G'day,
Thought I'd share an Aussie Christmas carol.

THE CAROL OF THE BIRDS (Wheeler/James)

COut on the plains the brolgas are dancing
DmLifting their feet like Gwarhorses prancing
CUp to the sun the Fwoodlarks go winging
AmFaint in the Cdawn light Fechoes their Gsinging
OCrana! OAmrana! ODmrana to G7Christmas CDay.

Down where the tree ferns grow by the river
There where the waters sparkle and quiver
Deep in the gullies bell-birds are chiming
Softly and sweetly their lyric notes rhyming
Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day.

Friar birds sip the nectar of flowers
Currawongs chant in wattle tree bowers
In the blue ranges lorikeets calling
Carols of bush birds rising and falling
Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day.
