(C)There's a (G7)scene that lingers in my (C)memory
Of an (D7)old bush home and friends I long to (C)see.
(F)That's why I am yearning (A7)Just to be returning
(D7)Along the road to (G7)Gundagai.
Chorus
(C)There's a track winding (E7) back
To an (F)old fashioned (C)shack
Along the (D7)road to (G7)Gunda(C)gai.
Where the (F)blue gums are growing
And the (C)Murrumbidgee's (A7)flowing
Be(D7)neath that sunny (G7)sky.
Where my (C)daddy and mother are (F)waiting for me
And the (A7)pals of my childhood
Once (D7)more I will (G7)see.
Then no (C)more will I (E7)roam,
When I'm (F)heading right for (C)home
Along the (D7)road to (g7)Gunda(C)gai.
When I (D7)get back there, I'll be a kid (C)again,
Oh, I'll (D7)never have a thought of grief or (C)pay.
(F)Once more I'll be playing, (A7)Where the gum trees are swaying
(D7)Along the road to (G7)Gundagai.

SWAY
When marimba rhythms (Dm)start to play
Dance with me, (Am)make me sway,
Like a lazy ocean (E7)hugs the shore,
Hold me close, (Am)sway me mare.
Like a flower bending (Dm)in the breeze,
Bend with me, (Am)sway with ease,
When you dance you have a (E7)way with me,
Stay with me, (Am)sway with me.
Other dancers may (G)be on the floor, (G7)dear,
But my eyes will (C)see only you,
Only you have the (E7)magic technique,
When we sway I go (Am)weak.(E7)
I can hear the sounds of (Dm)violins
Long before (Am)it begins,
Make me thrill as only (E7)you know how,
Sway me smooth, (Am)sway me now.
Other dancers may (G)be on the floor, (G7)dear,

Long before (Am)it begins.

FOLSOM PRISON BLUES
(G)I hear the train a comin'; it's rollin' round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine (G7)since I don't know when.
I'm (C)stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' (G)on.
But that (D7)train keeps a rollin' on down to San An(G)tone.
When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy don't (G7)ever play with guns."
But I (C)shot a man in Reno just to watch him (G)die.
When I hear (D7)that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and (G)cry.
(E7) into key change.)
(A)I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and (A7)smokin' big cigars.
But I (D)know I had it comin', I know i can't be (A)free.
But those (E7)people keep a movin',
And that's what tortures (A)me.
Well, if they'd freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it on a little (A7)farther down the line,
(D)Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to (A)stay,
And I'd l(E7)et that lonesome whistle blow my blues a(A)way.
And I ain't seen the sunshine (G7)since I don't know when.
