    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
| G | Em | F | C |

[Verse 1]
  G                     Em
I wish I was a riverman living off the land
    F                             C
I'd build myself a shack upon the bank
    G                               Em
I'd catch a feed of yellow belly or yabbies with a net
        F                                C
And I'd never want for more than I could eat
                G  Em  F  C
On the Murrumbidgee

[Verse 2]
   G                            Em
It rises in the mountains and meanders on the plains
  F                      C
A long way west to Balranald
  G                    Em
A flood at Gundagai in 1852
F                                        C
Yarri saved the settlers with his bark canoe

[Chorus]
                G
On the Murrumbidgee
                    Em
Would you come with me
     F                   C
Even if your life was in danger
                G  Em  F  C
On the Murrumbidgee

[Verse 3]
C
Sheep are eating dust
G                  Em
Farmers pray for a rain
        F                              C
And the scrub gets cleared for another orchard
C
Redgum is sawn up
G                   Em
Firewood's trucked away
        F                  C
And the crows cry their lament

[Chorus]
                G
On the Murrumbidgee
                     Em
Would you stick with me
     F                        C
Even though your heart may be breaking
                G
On the Murrumbidgee
                    Em
Would you come with me
  F                      C
I dreamed we could still make it
                G  Em  F  C
On the Murrumbidgee

[Instrumental]
| G | G | Em | Em | F | F | C | C |

[Verse 4]
C
This old river knows
        G                  Em
All the stories they still flow
         F                              C
From the mountains all the way to Balranald
       C
If you stick in the dry
        G          Em
On that black soil ground
      F                   C
It'll stick to you in the wet

[Chorus]
                G
On the Murrumbidgee
                     Em
Would you stick with me
     F                        C
Even though your heart may be breaking
                G
On the Murrumbidgee
                    Em
Would you come with me
  F                      C
I dreamed we could still make it

[Outro]
                G  Em  F  C
On the Murrumbidgee
                G  Em  F  C  G
On the Murrumbidgee
