D
I was born in a hat town, raised on the Warrego
     D
It's hard out here but you tough it out like an old brigalow
         G
    D                                  A                  D
The roads are straight & dusty and the folks are much the same


CHORUS:
G                                       D
Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
          G                                    D
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
        A               D         D                G
Well it might be Thargomindah, it might be Barclay Downs
             D                   Am7
If there's a pub and a store and not much more
       C            G       D
You're livin' in an old hat town.


D
Stuck out in a heat haze on a half mile sixty zone
       D
Just a rag-tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone
    G
But there's a swag of stories and most of them are true
   D                                        A                 D
Of how the locals passed the hat around and pulled each other through


REPEAT CHORUS


SOLO:  G  G  G  G
       D  D  D  D
       G  G  G  G
       D  D  A  D

           D
Well we're rouseabouts and drovers
      D
We're bushies tried and true
          D
And we're out here for the long haul
      A                D
We're not just blowin' through


CHORUS:
G                                       D
Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
          G                                    D
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
         A                   D            D               G
             D                   Am7
If there's a pub and a store and not much more
       C            G       D
You're livin' in an old hat town.



D   Am7   G    D

     D   Am7   G    D
Yodeleyeeeeeeee

            D     Am7 G                    D
Livin' in a hat town, livin' in an old hat town

            D     Am7 C            G       D
