SHAG ON A ROCK - by Admiral Warren Fraser, Transcribed by BA and AHole
VERSE: D A Bm G
CHORUS: G D A G D A G D A Bm A Bm
[Verse 1]
D A Bm G
Well we sailed into Brisbane on a warm and balmy evening
D A Bm G
The shore-leave it was granted and our best gear we put on
D A Bm G
up to a harbor tavern with money in our pockets
D A Bm A Bm
Looking for a lady to while the night away
[Chorus]
G D A
Well she looked into my eyes and set my heart a-pumpin'
G D D A
She whispered in my ear when the music got me jumpin'
G D D A
She took me by the arm and danced me 'round the floor
Bm A
then like a shag upon a rock
Bm A Bm Bm A Bm
she left me own
[Verse 2]
D A Bm G
The next port of call was Darwin and the sweat it trickled down me
D A Bm G
We strolled along the harbor just as the moon came up
D A Bm G
When I bent down to kiss her and take her in my open arms
D A Bm A Bm
She laughed and smiled and shook her head and sauntered off alone
[Chorus]
G D A
Well she looked into my eyes and set my heart a-pumpin'
G D A
She whispered in my ear when the music got me jumpin'
G D A
she took me by the arm and danced me 'round the floor
Bm A
then like a shag upon a rock
Bm A Bm Bm A Bm
she left me on me own
[Verse 3]
D A Bm G
Well Sydney shone resplendant as we sailed along the quay-side
D A Bm G
They shouted from the ballistrades how lovely it would be!
D A Bm G
Ah The drink it kept a-comin' and my head it was a-spinnin'
D A Bm A Bm
I ended in the gutter with no money on my own
[Chorus] X2*
G D A
Well she looked into my eyes and set my heart a-pumpin'
G D A
she whipered in my ear when the music got me jumpin'
G D A
she took me by the arm and danced me 'round the floor
Bm A Bm A Bm
and like a shag upon a rock She left me on me own
*RIFFY BREAK*
D A Bm G x4
[Chorus]
