F: Female vocalist
B: Both
* 4-bar intro
* Veerse 1 F: A city girl is happy with her friends and family life,
Appe-ciates a wine with him at night.
She tries to find the sparkle, she searches, but it's gone.
With lots of love she hopes he'll be all right.
Her man is gone all quiet, he's not at ease.
He doesn't feel at home, he's hard to please.
He gets itchy feet, he's tired of noises in the street.
He needs to walk for hours through the trees.
* Chorus B: No, a bushman can't survive on city lights.
F: Opera, rock'n'roll and height of heights.
B: His moon shines on the sil-er brigalow,
F: Shimmers down the Inland Riverflow,
Out there where the Yellow Belly bites.
* 5-bar break
* Verse 2 M: He's working with his hands today on a building site.
He can smell the Cypress on the floor.
It takes him to a sandy ridge out amongst the pines.
No shearin', no ploughing anymore.
His Kelpie dog is tired and fast asleep.
Tired of search-in' gardens for the sheep
His master doesn't whistle tunes, he's not in the mo-ood,
His love for open spaces runs too deep.
* Repeat chorus with male vocals in place of female vocals
* Verse 3 F: He tries to please his woman, the lady of his life.
He's standing at a party with a plate.
She finds him on the balcony, starin' at the moon.
An old familiar face he can relate.
* Repeat chorus, same as first chorus
* Coda M: His moon shines on the silver brigalow,
F: Shimmers down the Inland Riverflow,
B: Out there where the Yellow Belly...bites
