Dance At Bigges Camp chords by Cracker-Jack Smith


Cracker-Jack Smith Chords

Dance at Bigges Camp 
By Paul Cracker-Jack Smith

C
As kids we would sit on the veranda 
F                                                         C 	      
Listening to the Dance at Bigges Camp  
 F                                                     C                                                   
We'd hear the songs and the laughter
         D7                                           G   G7                
And talk neath the street lamp
C 
Nanna and mum told wives tales
F 	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	    C
About their prime, the good times, and the hard
F 	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	 C
The swaggies & their tricks that never failed 
 	  	  	  	  	 G                              C
And the Drovers steering cattle to the railway yards

C             
But we always had fun on the veranda
 F               	  	  	  	  	   C
As we sang each and every old song 
    F                                                     C           AM        
And our old couch swayed as the music played 
             C                         G7                       C
As the Dance at Bigges Camp, waltzed along
        
C
We'd watch as the ladies in their fine dresses
F                                                              C
Carry supper up the halls splintered steps
F                                                              C
And through the cracked and battered windows
D7                                                  G    G7
We would see their dancing silhouettes 


C  
In the moonlight you would see men gathered
                 F                                                C
Around the boots of their old family car
F                            	  	  	  	  	 C
And the weather was the only thing that mattered
 	  	  	  	  	 G 	  	  	 C
As they passed  beer around their bar

C             
But we always had fun on the veranda
 F               	  	  	  	  	   C
As we sang each and every old song 
    F                                                     C           AM        
And our old couch swayed as the music played 
             C                         G7                       C
As the Dance at Bigges Camp, waltzed along


C
The windmill in the paddock near the ghost gum
F                                                      C
Seemed to glid with the old Gypsy tap  
   F                                         C
As the accordion, piano & bass drum 
D7                                        G    G7
Kept the beat, for the feet just pat

C    
And just as the music seemed to settle
F 	  	  	  	  	  	  	  	 C
The Westlander would whistle down the track
F                                                      C
And as the ladies emptied every tea kettle
  C 	  	  	       G7 	  	  	 C
The beat of the dance band would come back

C             
But we always had fun on the veranda
 F               	  	  	  	  	   C
As we sang each and every old song 
    F                                                     C           AM        
And our old couch swayed as the music played 
             C                         G7                       C
As the Dance at Bigges Camp, waltzed along

INSTRUMENTAL

CHANG TO KEY OF D

(THESE TWO VERSES ARE SPOKEN)

D
But my mother never went to the dances
 	  	  	  	  	  	  	 
G 	 D
She would stay home with Nanna and us kids
G 	  	  	  	 D
For our father had one too many romances
E7                        A   A7     
And we never really knew where he lived 

D
You see men aren't like railway stations
G 	 D                              G
Some don't like to stay in the one place                                                  D          BM
And some men send out the wrong signals
D            A                             D
And their responsibilities they can not face





D             
But we always had fun on the veranda
 G               	  	  	  	  	   D
As we sang each and every old song 
  G                                                     D           BM        
And our old couch swayed as the music played 
             D                         A7                       D
As the Dance at Bigges Camp, waltzed along


REPEAT CHORUS
