Subject: RE: Chord Req: Stringybark Creek
OK, here's both versions from JS Manifold - The Penguin Australian Song Book, 1964.
Tune: Paddy Fagan
A [C]Sergeant and three constables rode out from Mansfield [G]town
At the [Dm]end of [G]last Oc[C]tober [G]for to [C]hunt the Kellys [G7]down.
They [C]started for the Wombat Hills and found it quite a [G7]lark
To be [Am]camped upon the [C]borders of a [F]creek called [G7]Stringy[C]bark.
That's more chord changes than I would use.
Tune: from the fiddle tune 'Stringybark Creek'
A [C]Sergeant and three constables rode [Dm]out from Mansfield [G7]town
At [C]th'end of last October for to [Dm]hunt the Kellys [G7]down.
They [C]started for the Wombat Hills and found it quite a [F]lark
[G7]To be [C]camped upon the borders of a [G7]creek called Stringy[C]bark.
