D
I was born in a hat town, raised on the Warrego
D
It's hard out here but you tough it out like an old brigalow
G
From the back of the channel country across the western plains
DAD
The roads are straight & dusty and the folks are much the same
CHORUS:
GD
Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
GD
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
ADDG
Well it might be Thargomindah, it might be Barclay Downs
DAm7
If there's a pub and a store and not much more
CGD
You're livin' in an old hat town.
D
Stuck out in a heat haze on a half mile sixty zone
D
Just a rag-tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone
G
But there's a swag of stories and most of them are true
DAD
Of how the locals passed the hat around and pulled each other through
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO: GGGGDDDDGGGGDDADD
Well we're rouseabouts and drovers
D
We're bushies tried and true
D
And we're out here for the long haul
AD
We're not just blowin' through
CHORUS:
GD
Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
GD
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
ADDG
From the back of the channel country and across the dusty downs
DAm7
If there's a pub and a store and not much more
CGD
You're livin' in an old hat town.
