Spirit of the bush Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]He'[C]s[G][C]
[G]staring down the barrel
Of another desperate day
[C]Pulls on his boo[G]ts
[D]He can't walk away

[Verse 2]
He's [G]running on empty
He's knocked about and [C]bent
But he'll still [G]be standing
When the [D]river runs [G]again

[Verse 3]
Is [G]the spirit in the rock?
Or [C]pass the hat around
Is it [G]freedom on the Wallaby?
Or a [D]dusty patch of ground
Is [G]it waltzing Matilda?
Or a [C]hand upon your shoulder
Is [G]this, [D]the spirit of [G]the bush?

[Verse 4]
[G]She stares at empty cupboards
Just like the day before
[C]It's been so lon[G]g
She can't [D]take it anymore

[Verse 5]
But she [G]digs a little deeper
And somehow finds the [C]strength
She [G]keeps believeing
There will be [D]better days [G]ahead Chorus

[Verse 6]
Is [G]the spirit in the rock?
Or [C]pass the hat around
Is it [G]freedom on the Wallaby?
Or a [D]dusty patch of ground
Is [G]it waltzing Matilda?
Or a [C]hand upon your shoulder
Is [G]this, [D]the spirit of the bush?

[Verse 8]
up for those oppressed
